Poem
Cupid Pulls Back The Bow This café I have stopped to dine, with hopes I’ll meet my Valentine I’ve seen her here most every day, just never had the nerve to say I took my seat at table two and ordered what I usually do Then noticed something just not right my eyes they caught the strangest sight It sat up there upon a shelf with wings it looked as if an elf An arrow held within its hand, as if it had some evil plan When then as I sipped on my tea, I saw his arrow point at me His one eye closed, the other stared, by now I’m feeling really scared Just then she walked into the place, a perfect smile upon her face I watched her as she took her seat to order something good to eat She motioned me to join her there, come take a seat, this empty chair When suddenly from in my eye I saw his arrow start to fly I thought real quick, I had to duck, it missed me, that was my good luck Then hit the guy at table three who quickly dropped his cup of tea Oh boy, the look upon his face is one my mind can not erase I made my way to sit with her, She said, “I am so sorry sir” “I motioned not for you, you see but to the man at table three” He sat right down where she did dine and said, "Please be my Valentine" Something had come over him, his heart was feeling young again She told him that she felt the same and was so happy that he came They kissed as I just walked away, I felt so stupid on this day About the place my eyes did look in every cranny, every nook And there still sitting on the shelf, he shrugged his shoulders, did the elf And at that time I came to know, don’t duck when cupid pulls the bow 1/5/17 Written for the Cupid Pulls Back The Bow Poetry Contest Sponsored by Mystic Rose
