Cupid Sings the Blues

In this episode enjoy poetry by Ben Jonson, Robert Burns, Ken Gierke (rivrvlogr on Wordpress), and myself. We examine love and Valentine’s Day. Why does Cupid sing the Blues?

I read My poems, "Cupid's Dream", "Cupid Sings the Blues", and "Somewhere Blindly".

Ben Jonson's poem "Song: To Celia [“Drink to me only with thine eyes”] and Robert Burn's poem "A Red, Red, Rose" can be found on www.poetryfoundation.org.

Ken Gierke's un-Valentine’s Day poem entitled “A Day Like Any Other” and other poems by him can be found on his Wordpress blog, rivrvlogr.com.
