Good luck Yvette in the contest, wow thirty years, a long time but obviously a good time. This was well done, it had a wonderful flow to it that was easy to read and a delightful rhyme pattern. I especially liked the spelling using the first letter of each line. Very enjoyable.

Most welcome Yvette
Comment from Cycler
Cute!
You certainly had fun with this one. Congrats on thirty years and realizing commonalities are not necessarily what love is all about. If only everyone realized that; seems many expect more out of love than should be expected.
Nicely worded and rhymed. Great concept.

Thanx for dropping by for this one, DB -- and glad you enjoyed the unromantic angle on the flowery V-Day! ;) ;) I can write romance but I'm pretty sure there's not much romance otherwise, LOL! ;) ;) Take care and have a wonderful weekend! ;) ;)

Good morning to you, Yvette
What a lovely Acrostic Valentine's poem.
I have a suggestion for you that you may or indeed may not wish to consider.--
Purely had meant to play a game--pointedly had played a game?
I suggest 'pointedly' given the fact that the cherub is aiming an arrow.
Love the end of this--
Don't laugh, 'cuz look...he got you too!--
Poems and short stories truly benefit from a nice little punch at the end, and you have done so marvelously with this line.
kindest regards

Thanx so much for the suggestion, Tracey -- I see your 'point' LOL! , but I like the 2 syllables and the softer feel of the letters/sounds in 'purely'. But THANK YOU for keeping my brain thinking about these things...I hadn't even looked at it like that so, your suggestion was enlightening!! :) ;) So glad you enjoyed this, though, since it certainly isn't the 'hearts and flowers' of most V-Day writes. :) ;) Take care over there and have a wonderful weekend! ;):) Yvette :)

Afternoon, Yvette :)
I see your point too, my friend.
Your poem is priceless!
love tracey

Hi, Yvette,
Thank you for sharing this sweet little poem to shoot some humor into the holiday. I don't think Cupid makes mistakes. I do believe people can change and their hearts can grow cold.
However, it is wonderful to hear that you and your hubby have that ONE special thing in common.
I hope you had a wonderful V-Day,
~MP~

Thanx so much for dropping in, MP -- yeah, this is about as 'romantic' as this nutty blonde gets...just don't have much 'mushiness' in my pen, I'm afraid. :) ;) ;) Glad you enjoyed! :) ;) Have a great weekend! ;) ;) Yvette

Yvette,
Hahahaha! Well, the good news is -- that is all it takes. And, look! Thirty years is a pretty good track record. I'd say Stupid Cupid isn't quite so stupid after all. hahaha!

Comment from Dean Kuch
Don't laugh is right, Yvette.
Love has a way of blind-siding us when we least expect it. Love has a way of finding us rather than the other way around.
When we go looking for love, well... to be quite honest it's been my experience that's when love is at its most elusive, like the giant Peruvian Jungle Spider in the rain forest...
You get a hold of one of those behemoths and you've most definitely been lookin' for love in ALL the wrong places!
Best of luck to you in the contest.

That is the COOLEST thing I think I've ever seen! :) Is it poisonous? I want to touch it cuz if it's anything like the larger wolf ones around here, it's really soft...! ;) Okay, so the blonde nerd is finished geeking out over the spider...but it's awesome! :) So, thanx for the WONDERFUL smile this morning...I so needed that surprise when I was trying to catch my tail over here -- I plan to try to catch up today with FS...I've barely got my contest entries in and reviews done of 'fanned folks' in my message box much less anything else -- and, being the nutty chick that I am, I won't do 'cut paste responses to folks who take the time to write real reviews! ;) Thanx again, Sir Dean, for appreciating my 'unmushy, unflowery' offering for the V-day contest...and thanx for the good luck wishes (although I'm pretty sure it's not what their looking for in a V-day write! LOL!). Take care up there! ;);) Yvette

Yes, they're along the same lines as a short haired tarantula would be in relation to their softness, Yvette. The main drawback when handling these monster arachnids is that they are very aggressive. You have to be very careful when handling them without gloves.
They're toxin usually isn't fatal to humans but if they bite you it will make you terribly sick for a while.
Take care and good luck!

Congratulations it seems that one thing is all you really needed- Thirty seven years is quite an accomplishment.
Clever, witty and mirrors the way many mismatched lovers feel.
Blessings

Yvette, what a cute verse with a delightful illustration. I think your humorous verse is perfect for this prompt and makes for a fun read. Well done on this Stupid Cupid tongue-in-cheek poem. I enjoyed it immensely.

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
Unmatched we are, like hawk and dove
Please tell me that this can't be true
Illogically, I'm drawn to you...
Don't laugh, 'cuz look...he got you too!
LOL! This is priceless. Some couples are like that. There is a draw neither can explain. They can't live with each other, but they can't live withOUT each other. Must be a stressful relationship! :)

Love is for the forever kind in my book and those who can't find it are out of luck. Maybe cupid had one to many darting around
