Kamikaze Cupids


Mice scatter beneath
A ocean of frozen tundra

The Kamikaze Cupid
Will steal you

You can't hear him
Within the safety of the earth
The warmth embraces your body

But the little red fox
Can leap into the sun
and dive through the snow
almost like a child in a pond.

The Kamikaze Cupid
Is alive another day.

-Juju

What's so amazing about really deep thoughts " Silent all these Years, Tori Amos

An interesting thought. Cupid does sort of dive bomb us and explode like a thousand suns.

Typo in stanza one. "an"

Fall in love early, fall in love often.

Yo Juju,

This is a nice poem.

Yes, that's the way they do it.

Love Bobby

Interesting. I'd say "fascinating", but, well...

Wouldn't suggest any changes to this, even though your work here is a bit of a riddle.
Deep thoughts aren't necessarily predatory, nor is physical love (or so I am told). Humans can pretend to be hibernating mice or little ponds, but that doesn't make us so. We can be a bit "kamikaze" or quixotical, too---it's not always predatory, nor mere ego oar-stroking...

Very good use of imagery throughout, imho. Plz post some more!
