Cupid Mu-St-Se

Cupid must use
       rounded
         rubber-tipped
           arrows

     Let him order
       some real
         zingers
           from Eros

Real "zingers" - like the double meaning here.

Too good, Gershon. Though, with some couples I’ve come across… I think one of them is firing hand grenades! Terry

If too many arrows stick, however, one may come to look like a porcupine or a hedgehog. Eeeek! :) gw

I did wonder how "erose" always makes it into crossword puzzles . . . .

Soft tips arrows for soft hearts. The hardened ones do not love well, nor long. Excellent read. Enjoy your retirement. Sanders sold a lot of chicken in his. Have a great day, Gershon. I've been trying some woodworking...did not know I could do such nice things. Have to remember to wear a mask though -- in this case, I am all for it.

Hi Gershon, Awesome write... Hope you're well. I haven't heard from you and hoped I hadn't done anything to keep you away. Many prayers and blessings, Love, Gina

Thank you, Regina... My loss, really, for not viewing your inspirational poetry... Sometimes I get stuck in ruts, I guess. Thanks for the little jolt. I shall do better. Have a wonderful Friday, Gershon
