Cupid Aims His Arrow

Cupid aims his arrow
   Hunter with his bow
Thinks he: It's a simple matter
   Of his weapon aimed just so...

Love's not such easy prey
   To be captured with one shot
She demands more time, more patience
   Than any Cupid's got

She demands more time and patience, so very true Gershon. We on the other hand don't need time lol. Tom.

I love the cutting edge of your second sentence, Tom. I'm grinning a smile as wide as the Grand Canyon. Always a delight to hear from you! Best wishes, Gershon

Hi Gershon, a wonderful piece my friend. Cupid is not always as sure as people would think. A most creative write. I enjoyed the read. Love savours so slowly, the way into the heart. have a wonderful Thursday. your friend....Mike.
