Exceptional How far will I go Keep Up with the Joneses by samandlancelot Sonnet Poetry Contest contest entry Artwork by supergold at FanArtReview.com

I hid my gems from thieves who stole my rings My marriage sign ripped past my knuckle's hold Abundance flashed, enticed my neighbor's bling The Joneses pawned my things and boldly sold Another way to keep up pace and thrive I taunt and flaunt my form despised of him Deride his wife and use him as a bribe To stab her back and shimmy on the brim he fills his coffers with my gen'rous gifts and basks in this deceptive diva's wrath a bitter, better catch in me, he drifts apart from her and down my trech'rous path the guillotine erected for her spouse conveniently, the felon and the louse Recognized Author Notes Thank you, SuperGold, for your picture: "Guillotine."
