Mystic Rose Rose Poet Haibun

Cupid Falls In Love

He ran around shooting unsuspecting souls with his golden tip arrows
and one perfectly bent, Port Orford Cedar bow. Wearing nothing 
but a diaper and a silly grin he aimed, shut one eye then Wham! 

love is dapper
always a gentleman 
respectively yours 

He studied at the Rose City Archery where all smart Cupids go for  
an education on falling in love!  What he wasn't expecting was some
day he would fall for a crazy red head who was a Pixie in disguise. 
   
he leveled the arrow
it ricocheted back
to his heart 
 
She baked him cinnamon hearts both spicy and hot to the taste.  Then she 
took him to a magical place where every day felt like Valentine's day. 
It wasn't long before a winged infant carrying a bow and a quiver of 
arrows  bounced up and down on Cupid's knee.

I'm a Cupid
 he said to his daddy   
with Pixie Ma, Whoo-ee
