This is a nice poem. It seems like it was originally written close to February making it tie in well as a Valentine's day work. I wonder if it was written for any WDC prompts or just inspired by the Valentine's holiday itself.

This poem gives a good depiction of Cupid describing him exactly how I picture the younger version of him to be with arrows and a small bow and wings. He is happy and playful.

There were some really fun elements in this one. Each of the stanza reminds us that Cupids arrow hits hard. It really gave a great contrast become Cupid's angelic appearance against his sharp arrows.

On a technical level. I like the flow of all of the Stanzas. It is not exactly a refrain but they all share the same idea Cupid's arrows hitting followed by the concluding line of each Stanza. I love each of the variations of Cupid's arrow being described (i.e. until the arrow hits, until the dart is loosed, until the missile strikes etc). They were awesome. In a similar fashion the beginnings of each of the Stanzas had variations as well each referring to the younger cupid by different titles (i.e. that jolly little fellow, this little sweet cutie, that little dainty cherub, and that little baby Eros). There are also some great word choices that readers will enjoy in this. I love it when poems provide Alliterations and this poem has a few memorable cases used such as charming chortles and sugary sniggers. Both interestingly enough are used to describe his laugh. It makes a poem easier to recite and read through.

With the final line of the poem, I couldn't help thinking of the song "Wouldn't it be Loverly" from "My fair lady". It is a very sweet poem. Thank you for writing.
