Poetry Corner: Falconnet's Cupid

Time to get into Alex's artsy side, I guess. Here's a sample of my poetic work. Most of my stuff is a but more... flippant (look it up, Drew), but this is a good one of my "real" poems. It's published in Hanging Loose volume 85, I think. Can you believe they paid me $5 for this? That's like 10 cents a word. Anyway, here you go...

Falconnet's Cupid

called Love and Eros
he raises one finger
to alabaster lips

mischeviously bidding
onlookers to keep
his secret

a remaining hand
poised over a quiver
of marble arrows

ashen wings raised
one slightly higher
than the other

he sits idly
on a mountaintop
or cloud

a granite rose
placed tenderly
at stone feet

What's your deal? Seriously, if you didn't like the first things he wrote why would you keep reading? I'm guessing you're one of those retards who worships Tom Clancy and when something interesting is thrown in front of you, you ignore it because you couldn't buy it from walmart.
