'crooked Arrow'

lack of oxygen floating hearts or jumbled thoughts
they labeled it love
combined it with red and white cupid and his curved arrow

unjique thoughts about Cupid and his arrow, Wilma. I think that his arrow is probably straight when it gets shot but when it hits home it takes on some strange crooks and turns andyou get all of the above! realy nice job of it Wilma and yup doing just dandy here... How bout you ?

gosh, how did you get your title to look that way?? I guess you just mixed the small and large letters. Very clever. A cool tanka to post with Valentine's DAy coming up!!

Whether it's really floating hearts or jumbled thoughts, some people will always call it love. Frankly, I'd like to break Cupid's crooked arrow and get him one that shoots straight. Delightful poem as Valentine's day approaches, Wilma. Love, Carolyn
