Cupid Returns

One Valentines day Cupid went on strike because well ... he didn't like the dating games on T V showing fake people trying to hitch up and all They were gold diggers he said, first they say love me, then take a hike he didn't think their hearts were true, they were always having a brawl He packed his gold tipped arrows and moved out of his Love Chalet up the mountain he went to meditate, he met a man named Tate who asked him, "can you spare me an arrow, I'm in love with Kate" Kate and Tate got married but soon their love turned to hate Thinking he had lost his touch he shot clandestine arrows how sad people kissy faced & moonied, so he thought maybe I'm not so bad He got hired on T V as a host for a bran new dating show gold tipped arrows and trusty quivers, he turned them all aglow Cupid God Of Love shooting arrows once again, love was in the air opulence of heart & soul came first this time, love was everywhere Valentine Smoochies, hoochie-coochies, snoggies and kisses oh dear, Cupid was back and love was on track, for anyone who ever came near.

Your "Cupid Returns" is a creative/fun write. Glad Cupid is back working again. No more vacation time off for him. A few days late but hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day. Have a great/blessed day................

Hello Vie ... first, all those lifestyle TV shows rely on conflict and outlandish topics now. Cupid must feel embarrassed by some of this. Hopefully St. Valentines Day will have him believing that there is still true love out there - thanks Vie - Lindsay

What would we do without dear Cupid this time of year with Valentine’s Day approaching so quickly. I really don’t like those silly shows on TV that are staged. I prefer romantic music. Like Kenny Rogers song “Lady”. That song reminds me of my husband. I do feel the presence of Cupid around. I enjoyed your creative poem Vie. Happy Lunar New Year of the Tiger. Blessings xxoo
