Cupid's Mistake

The winged boy of fable old Flew by one day with smile bold He took careful aim and then let fly An arrow, straight into my heart’s eye There was a problem when he was done It seems his arrows numbered only one Now the object of my deep affection Alas, for me he has no love connection…..

Oh, Barbara, this is so well penned and I know it come straight from your arrow-pierced heart. Very cleverly, you keep it light, but there is a sting when cupid's arrow has struck "only one." Amazing work!! Love, Carolyn
