Myopic tragedy unfolds Cupid’s trajectory elliptical perfection Focal point down wind of intention Undershoots the mark Awareness consumes the prey Soft heart turns to jerky Cooing turns to rage Rage turns to motion Cupid’s reload flawless Curare visits flesh Vacuous breaths strain the lobes Bones weep as muscles mollify Fresnel vision projects the fractal sideshow Until the curtains draw closed What’s love got to do with it?

Short-sightedness and arrow poison something Shakespearean and there's always tragedy where narrow minds can't escape the consequences.

Soft heart turns to jerky,
Cooing turns to rage

Doesn't sound good at all.

Let's see, my friend. When you write funny stuff it's really clever. When I write funny stuff, it's really in the other direction. Wow, you must have a great thesaurus.
Well said, Patrick.
Your friend, mark

I'm not sure about the rest of it, but I'm keeping the curtains closed, just in case.... Very enjoyable read, even if it is over my head.... Thanks Dick (a/k/a JPD)

I'm with Christine on this one, but until I pull out my dictionary, I'd say you've outdone yourself on this one...btw, did you consult with Tina on the last line?

Cheers,

Man are you smart...I'm going to have to look up half of these words. Say, do you know I read "Tower of Power" and that one you wrote about your boss at a Christmas party bottoms up for a bit of uplifting when I'm blue?

Best Wishes,
