Stupid Cupid

Did Dutch boys and girls avoid the Cupid's arrows so they wouldn't get cooties?


Poem Artwork

Once,
there was this guy named,
Cupid
Who shot arrows with love
was stupid
When he pierced their hearts
“Till death do they part. . . ”
their wounds, found under their carpets
their blood drippings, running from faucets...
Sinks stained naught, what colored,  not aught
Cupid,  then questioned his targets...
when he witnessed,  in waives, their argots...
white-laced, splayed out in their jargons!
He thought, “why in the world would they, give up
most everything,  that,  what they thought of?.”

Until, he realized...

 Love.

(...his stupid girlfriend shot him!)

Cupid made the same mistake with Romeo and Juliet. They say justice is blind but love seems to often be blind too.

Kimmy,
This is highly original and wickedly funny...and beneath the surface great and old truths that will never fade or die as long as we have
needing, aching hearts.

Kimmy,

Fantastic! I read two poems in one:

Once/Cupid/was stupid/'til death do they part/their blood drippings, running from faucets/white laced, splayed out in their jargons!/until, he realized/his stupid girlfriend shot him!

And,

There was a guy named (Cupid)/who shot arrows with love/when he pierced their hearts/their wounds, found under the carpets/sinks stained naught, what colored, not aught/when he witnessed, in waves, their argots/he thought, 'Why in the world would they, give up/most everything, that, what they thought of?'/Love.

Clever, clever you!! Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Well certainly a fresh take on Cupid and the work that he chose to do for a living, come to think of it he steered me wrong a few times the dumb ass.
