If it wasn’t Cupid, it was Stupid!

He who played
the arrow
shot the heart
that made the bond,
but who wore the barb
that poisoned the love?
ABC!

The climate change
of Romeo and Juliet
where only a highway man
could see the stage
of errors played
with dire consequences
along telegraph road.

And then there was
the Doors opening:
the End,
the final overture
from in the beginning
by ELP.

One cannot hide
from a scribble
but to tag along
following the trail.

Even before fully engaged in reading, I glance down & notice "ELP" . . . then I was hopelessly riveted on seeking out your musical clues. ABC - new to me. Here, Highwaymen = Willie, Waylon, Kris, & Johnny Cash. It goes on. Pardon my being anal & pretty much missing your message, but the musical memories were irresistible *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

The trail of tears follows broken arrows where smiles were laid to rest upon a hill of of regrets and stories told from generations of 💜 heart break forsaken. truly, Pat

Lovely words Pat . Yes life is filled with tragedy all around us and we just have to weave through the traffic. Thank you for reading and reviewing Pat.

this one fascinates me...bonds, errors, final overture, life...
we poets scribble about it...we can't hide....and it is a trail that we follow more than forge.

Thank you Jacob, exactly wherever our pens take us we just follow as writers, poets...
