Total Recoil

[Mark Cecil]

Dad only had one gun and It was my first time shooting the double barrelled shotgun.  I was only a kid at the time but my dad was there with me.  I cannot say I managed to shoot any birds I think I blew off a tree branch such was my control of the gun.

In regards to the poem I usually prefer a standardised metre over free verse but if you think this poem still works without it I might keep it the way it is.
