Eros, and Psycho (Villanelle)

Missing image
That trick you learned from Cupid?
Was something you could not teach
How to be beautifully stupid.

A foul fish with out a fluid,
A rotting, seedless, immature peach
That trick you learned from Cupid.

In between your ears, all is vapid
Yes, a good subject for you to preach
How to be beautifully stupid.

Sorry, for being so frank, and candid,
but could you show my dog at the beach?
That trick you learned from Cupid.

Because, your love is pseudo morbid
You only choose to deliver by breech
How to be beautifully stupid.

And you believe that you are splendid
At a mirror you give your speech
That trick you learned from Cupid?
Was how to be beautifully stupid.

    I hate cupid too.

    I got stuck on line 10/11. The imagery of dogs needing to learn new tricks really questions the issue of predetermination, but so subtly-- that is the beauty of it. And the conclusion--beautifully stupid, describes love/intimacy very well in mho.

    Beautifully NOT stupid

    A scathing rebuke beautifully written. The images conjured are loving, yet anger...no, not anger, but rather cold emotionless (there must be a word for this, no?) condemnation. I sense a dichotomy here, but I always see that in your works.

    Self shaming or directed towards another? If directed externally, I sense no reason to use such slashing phrases (well, I always save the best for myself). Others get the generic phrasing.

    As usual you have mown new grass, transplanted the commonplace into a garden of the exotic and shown yourself to be free of conventional restraints. I applaud from front-row, centre even though I can barely see over the tuba players in the orchestra (is that why they call it the pit?).

    Rock on.
