One That Cupid Forgot Poem by Practicing Poetess
One That Cupid Forgot
She was pretty, vivacious, and full of life
And dreamed of becoming someone's wife
How is it that life did pass her by
And bring disappointment which made her cry?
Was it that she didn't flirt enough?
Or guys of today want strong women, not fluff?
Perhaps she'd fare better by playing the field
Than, time and again, to one man only yield.
Should she have held back more, played hard-to-get
Not worn heart on her sleeve with the men she met?
And, is it that men prefer fantasy
And mystery, to bare honesty?
How is it an ugly girl becomes a wife,
Then spends all his money, and cheats all her life?
While our pretty miss wanted nothing more
Than a husband that she could love and adore.
They say that there's someone for everyone- -True?
I'll wager that may be the case for a few
But, when it comes to love, Cupid's law
Appears to be the luck of the draw.

the cupid did not forget her, it just passed her by waiting for that special moment to give true love a try
Awww, Louis- - That's so sweet! I sure do hope you are right about that one, for the sake of that poor longsuffering girl :)

What an adorable poem. I hear ya! We often wonder when will cupids bow stike us and give us true love! I guess the bow has to strike both! Enjoyed this immensely! :)
Thank ya, Aqua! Always great hearing from you! And, you got it right- - Cupid's bow apparently doesn't work unless it hits BOTH hearts! :)
