Carolyn, your talent shows through on this haiku. The meaning is clear and to the point. Great job. Thanks for commenting on my Tale of Tails. I realize that Rottweilers are treasured pets by some owners. Sorry to cast a bad light on them.

smile -- running from Cupid sometimes seems to be the best route especially when the arrow may have somehow broken amid the other side of these, two hearts called unto a Souls tango but, upon the other hand my dear, "Beautiful & Precious, Carolyn Devonshire" ~ one can never know until they do taste the wine from this rainbows arching bow of destinies perhaps meant to, sweetened vines of love -- cont:)
