The Queen of Hearts made cherry tarts
On Cupid’s Special Day.
The Knave of Hearts threw out those tarts
And stole the Queen away.
His bow was strong, his arrows sharp,
He drew with deadly force.
His missile pierced the tender heart,
Killing her, of course.
With hungry zeal, he yanked the heart
From Queenie’s bloody chest
And feasted on her royal blood,
Rating it the best!

Hello Dawn, you have a poetic vein. I like your poem very much. The picture fits to it.
I was off-line for a few days. I was hacked. Now I have a new PC and I’m very happy. But still have to configure many things. From passwords to reinstalling programs. But I think from tomorrow I will write posts again, or the day after tomorrow.
All the best🌹
