Notes About The Poem

Written Jan 21 2026 for contest

Red Cupidity

Love has gotten the best of me
Heart lost to bitter acidity
Cupidity is my heart

Wilting as it was discovered
Jilted for another lover
And yet here we are

Dear Karen Your words hit me in a tender way. It’s sharp, sad, and honest all at once. I think your words carry a small, painful truth about desire and loss. Something I could feel. Winter Blessings, Karen, Daniel

This is clever and a bit fascinating to me but then I can't figure out what tail-rhyme must mean. Surely, I should be able to tell but I'll have to go read the contest because I've read a few. Love yours
