Cupid and Psyche how it came about (acrostic)

Author: shadow1950

C omeliest of maidens
Upon your beauty
People stared in awe
It's not surprising
Deep Cupid fell when
Arrow pierced his foot
Now Venus grew angry
Did not like this
Pass in the least
She cursed her
Your fate a monster
Come you to wed
How did Cupid stop this
Easy he told Jupiter
He ordered Venus cease
In peace and harmony
Cupid and Psyche lived
Always will true love win

I think its difficult to transform that story into poetic form.But that was a clever choice (the acrostic) to compose your poem which was done with ease.

Beautifully done shadow. You are quite the
talented maiden poetess. Let Cupids arrow seek
thee out from the Mystic Forest.

Shadow thank you for sharing. Cupid and Pysche were a favorite couple from Greek mythology.

A clever acrostic, Shadow: Some people think acrostics work better if the initial letter of each line is written in bold, but this is at the whim of the author.

A fine tale too...
