I Think Cupid Needs Glasses

just something fun for Valentine's Day

 

What’s the deal with cupid?

Don’t get me wrong

He does some wonderful work

But sometimes I think

It’s time for glasses.

Shooting arrows

That hit the wrong mark,

I mean what is he?

A major league umpire.

Or maybe sometimes

He has one to many drinks,

That can happen

When you have

So much responsibility.

Maybe that baby with wings

Needs to take lessons

From Johnny Appleseed.

Or maybe he is just anxious

To spread some much love

To a world needing it.

What ever the case may be

Cupid sure has many stray arrows

That has caused a lot of pain

Which the world doesn’t need.

So little buddy boy

Let’s get that aim tried and true

So you can stop putting

People’s eye’s out

And making love blind.

Oh, a great take on the big mistakes we make in love!! I have sure had my share of them!!! smiles
Cute, Dale....really cute, and TRUTHFUL!! Cupid needs to have his glasses changed, or zap off the rose color tinting.
Something sure does interfere with his good judgment at times...maybe, he's had too much Valentine's Day candy, and has the wings weighted down.

Heheh. I have to agree with Legion. There needs to be a Cupid version of the SATs, or maybe a bar exam, because the Cupid we've got now has one twisted sense of humour. Or, maybe, like you said, he just gets a little drunk sometimes. But someone ought to take the bow away the way good bartenders will take your keys.

[Seriana]

Hehehehe! Yeah! You got it right on this one. I can see, rather hear you reading this aloud with some sarcasm!!! Att-i-tude! Nice!

[Ladysue]

I did this one get by me...Cowboy, I enjoyed this read a great deal. It flowed like a song and you told cupid like it is...LOL...sometimes he doesn't get it right...and yes a world much in need of love. A great great piece, Dale!!!

[Erotic Goddess]

LOL! Nice job Dale. Cupid, a dream, but then, sometimes he hits it right on the head. All of those misses, leading to the one that matters, the one in the end...the keeper. I liked this.

Maybe that's the point Love is Blind! Great take on it and great poem.

[Legion]

Here! Here! Should have to have a licsenses to be cupid or at least pass some test. I like it.

[Brjden (Bridge-Den) Cre..]

Well said!!!! He done hit me for the last time with that $#%@ing arrow!!! I love the playfulness and I'm sure people are standing in line to "AMEN"! Very cute, very funny, and extremely true write!

[Xeru]

Man, this was a great poem. The content was strong and outmatched the artistry. It had great balance. Comedy, Good Imagery, Soul, and Honesty...

"Or maybe sometimes

He has one to many drinks"

That line had me cracking up lol.
What I got out of this great message poem is that sometimes love has good intentions... But sometimes good intentions causes more harm than a little bit. I really like this joint for the subtle wisdom in its overall entertaining format... Good stuff man.

[Wicahpi]

AMEN!!!! The last line says it all!

This was a delightful read.

Peace n Light,

Good write, I love it. I think Cupid can take a few days off, We would be better off, revoke his licence, or teach him how to shoot. Thank you for the laugh.
