An open Letter to Cupid

written on a lonely valentines day:-D

Dearest Cupid.
I hope this round you have bigger
arrows for me,as the last ones
mutilating effects seem to have
weaned off.
This valentines will prove to be one
of the most meaningless unless you
shoot at Marcello..and let Man u
score in tonights match.
No flowers,no chocolates..no acts of
chivalry from me since I don't get
the point of love.
And,one thing has been bothering
me.How come you never grow old?
That explains why you don't see
what sort of cacophony you cause
by shooting your pointless arrows at
people.
People kill themselves,kill
others,maul ,steal,etc..all in the
name of love.
Yet you always creep in with your
cherub wings and bare baby
bottoms..shooting blunt arrows at
people.
I get it though..just doing your job.
Since no one would love me with no
money,
you'll find me with an arrow proof
vest and helmet..just so you thought
of shooting my brain.
See you next year.
Good luck with your love campaign.
E.S.O
(please put on pants in your next
visit)

Thank you Cherrie.I thought of bringing out my valentines blues in a light manner..considering I actually had a horrible day:-)

This is a fun twist on Valentine’s, very unique approach with the letter and you draw the reader in with heart felt touches and humor. This opening could fade into a larger work with great ease.

certainly an honest take on life and you seem to have gone to great lengths to justify your anti- valentines day assertions (which I agree is awfully hyped up for commercial interests) People always argue that the virue of love ought to and can be experienced and celebrated for the entire year, if you have your wits about you, and I'm not just reffering to love in the romatic sense of course, as there are often a whole array of significant others, plus endless passions to pursue, one hopes........ though this year I personally really enjoyed the day and the special arrangments which are made, which perhaps shows my age, though your perspective certainly resonated with my at your age, really, you are so thoughfrul Edmund and I admire your youthful courage to share your troubled and complex dissatisfactions, well done
