Amore as Jaded Humor

If karma was instant
Cupid would be DOA
and Aphrodite
infected with an STD.
so please let the illusion linger
as we are all gluttons for punishment.

    Brilliant.

    That's very clever
    I love the repeated use of acronyms. This is a brilliant short piece, and a fantastic take on the prompt given: I was expecting more people to go along more depressing lines. No, this is brilliant, and I love it.
    I like your last line, because it's brilliantly true!
    This made me smile (and that's quite hard!)

    I loved this take on instant karma, made me think too-I loved the use of Cupid and Aphrodite. Thanks for this piece, it made me smile.
