The exercise:
Happy Valentine's Day, to those that celebrate the occasion.
A writing prompt for all of us, regardless of how we feel about today, is: cupid.
If you're not fond of this created holiday, try not to be too mean to the little guy :)
Mine:
A red arrow nocked,
His eyes scan the crowd.
He drifts lazily,
Like a pink-cheeked cloud;
A silent presence,
Like a cheerful shroud.
He spots his target,
Patiently takes aim.
But a gust of wind
Leaves the young man maimed.
Cupid rolls his eyes
And sighs, "Not again!"
