Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Natural Consequences Cupid Dear

Natural consequences, Cupid Dear.
This is why you have to be careful.
Careful with your words
And careful with your arrows

You have to be proactive,
Think ahead. Plan with love.
Knowing that every thought, deed, and act
Has consequences

Put yourself into their shoes
Is this truly the one for them?
Will they stick it out for the long haul?
Or will this match strike fast and hard, and swiftly burn out?

Natural consequences, Cupid Dear.
Now let me take away the honeycomb and the bees,
So you can think straight. The empathy I show you,
You may, of course. pass on to the others....

Rhona Mcferran April 17, 2019 at 11:21 PM Hopefully Cupid'll take this to heart & be more considerate and empathetic... Loving the wrong person sure can cause a lot of grief! Caren Krutsinger April 18, 2019 at 2:36 AM It surely can!
