I'm Maddie and I'll be reviewing
Ah, the dreaded Valentines day... The day that brought me to tears because I couldn't make cards for fourteen people over a month... Ah. (Grade one is one of those years, eh?)
Well, anyways. This is an amazing poem here. Just one nitpick. Though I'm no expert of poetry, I am wondering where the rhyming scheme. Maybe it doesn't need to be there, but I was just curious.
The mood is nice, and by nice, I mean convincing. Cupid is typically a figure of love, being a baby and all. But Cupid might well just be another Stewie Griffin in this poem.
I really don't have any nitpicks for this, Great Job!
Maddie out!

This is pretty amazing. Everyone views Cupid as a romantic figure, and you've perfectly described the reality. Your wording is brilliant and it flows well.

Unholy terror falls upon the Earth
once you begin to shoot.
Your arrows are deadly bullets
that slash at fragile hearts and make
them bleed pools of dismay; your aim
is to inflict pain, to see mortal beings
drowning in their cascade of tears.

I just want to say that this would be a great poem by itself. Even with the hellish description of Cupid and your threat, I don't find the last two parts necessary.
So yeah, nice work. :)



I hope that when I am gone, someone still reaches for me like I reach for them
