Get to work Cupid

Cupid seems to be taking his time,if this doesnt wake him up then i dont know what will

Alas! Cupid 

Slothefulness doesn't suit you 

Do something;will you? 

Pursue the universe 

To find my soulmate 

Lose yourself if you must 

Valentine's comes and goes as he pleases 

He is bored with my singleness 

What now Cupid? 

Your arrow must be bitter 

I'll write you a honeyed haiku 

I'll write you a sweet sonnet 

To replenish your magic 

Then you'll find love for me

Author's Note

Thank you:-)

Poignant, sad and uplifting at the same time... You express yourself elegantly. Your terms are clear and your meanings crisp. You paint a picture with your words that is easily visible and easy to follow. You berate with one hand and reward with the other; like a slap followed by a kiss... Excellent form. The only thing you need to work on is your technical form. Example: Do something,will you? Correction: Do something; will you?
This is not a criticism, merely an observation.
All of us must live and grow or we would not be here. This is truly a heartfelt and beautiful work.
I look forward to reading more of your works. wolf ,'', ^@@^ ,'',

If Cupid keeps taking his sweet time with plunging that arrow in your chest-I know, I'm scary-I'll make you a super-size machine-gun revolver-I assure you on my persona, one spray of its bullets will get lazy Cupid to work*wink*
You've got cute humour behind great words Mary Helda. Nice piece_couldn't help devouring it:)

[Mary Helda]

hahahaha...I'll be waiting for that revolver....I'll let you know wen Cupid gets lazier.. thank you cute scary darling:-)

This is such a lovely poem, and i am not one of those guys who is into Valentine's as such, but i love the way it was presented and i could see how it could instill hope into a lot of people, that one can always find their true love.

[Mary Helda]

Thank you my dear:-)

I like it though I'm usually not into typical Valentine's writes but the overall demanding tone combined with the sugary love topic reads well and makes it slightly different.

[Mary Helda]

Thank you:-)

Cupid isn't the same ever since he started eating bunch of chocolate hearts every day, that lazy winged fatty. Oh sorry forgot this is a poem review not a deity one. About the poem it's nice i like the feeling of loneliness that's sent through some lines yet it doesn't sound like the person is too lonely just that they'd be much happier with somebody.

[Mary Helda]

Hahaha,,you really did understand it..Cupid did become a lazy winged fatty all bcoz of those chocoalte hearts..thank you my dear:-)

He's a pesky little fellow, perhaps as blind as blind can be.
Very enjoyable little ditty, but I hope you find that soulmate soon.

[Mary Helda]

Thank you so much...i hope i do too

This was a great plea to that little archer. I have it on good authority that he's a lousy shot. Have patience he'll find his target eventually
