I will certainly pray for your sister. Eye problems are no fun and can be very scary. I enjoyed your poem. People chose sides no doubt and often it's because they'd rather believe a lie to feel better about themselves. Gretchen

There should be no sides. The truth should be honored. Thanks for the read and the prayers. Karen
Comment from Pam (respa)
-I am sorry to hear about your sister, Karen.
-You are both in my prayers.
-A good image and poem.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-A great opening line with
"smashed it flat."
-You do a good job describing
the nature of this break up.
-He didn't want to take any blame,
but it backfired on him, and that is
proven very well with the closing lines.
-Now Winston can "take that!"
-Very well done. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Winston is an out and out scoundrel! He's got no friends left and his latest relationship seems to be the nail in the coffin. What goes around, comes around! An excellent portrayal of betrayal! Well done, Karen, and good luck! Debbie

Thanks for the review, Pass this along please. My sister Tammy also had eye surgery and the second eye is pitching a fit. We could use the help. Karen
Comment from patcelaw
I'm sorry your sister's surgery is not going well and I will indeed pray for her. I have a sister-in-law and niece who are both named Tammy so I will remember her name as well. Patricia
Dear Lord, please put your hand of mercy on Tammy's eyes so that she will have a good recovery from the surgery. I praise you for your goodness to us and I pray that you will heal Tammy's side very quickly. In Jesus name I ask. Amen.

Thank you for the review. Guys still seem to think we are second in line. We must dress up for them. Nuts to that. Pass this along. My sister Tammy had eye surgery also , and the second eye is pitching a fit. Please send some prayers and good thoughts her way.
Karen
Comment from lyenochka
Sounds like a country/western song. It is interesting that someone who did the cheating would pretend to be the victim but he probably isn't man enough to admit doing wrong. Best wishes in the contest!
Saying a prayer for your sister, Tammy! May God restore her eyes!

Comment from jim vecchio
You must have a trunkful of photos and pictures of redheads. This one was so clearly presented and so beautiful. You truly painted a word picture, also, of betrayal and its sting and result.

I'll pray for your sister, Tammy. ðŸ™
This is a well written poem for the challenge. You use good imagery to vivid descriptions to tell a story and share emotion, too.
Best wishes,
Alex

How is your sister?
-
They gave her more drops, and some pain medicine which will help her sleep. The pain was keeping her awake. The doc said, sometimes the second eye is more tender., but she is doing okay, but the healing will take a bit longer for this eye, but she should be fine. If I ever have to have this done, I will wait a good bit between surgeries, so my brain can calm down. Karen

That sounds like a plan. I have to get another check on a cateract from 5 years ago. :( It's starting to effect my Vison now. Once I go to docs I do what they say but I'm i a bad habit of not going now. I've been to 2 this year though. I have to catch up. Maybe you won't have a same problem as your sister. I hope you will be ok,
-
From what I can tell people who get cataracts have farsightedness. I have nearsightedness. So, I should be okay :-)

So sorry Karen, I got my share of cheating mother fortune husband since day one, but at the end he is the cheated one. Dishonesty can get you so far. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Comment from Debi Pick Marquette
Aha, Winston must be the husband with the pregnant girlfriend. Great job with the building of emotions and anger and then BAMM, you hit us with the big one.
I love this poem a lot and I hope it does well in the contest. So is this fiction or one of those ex-husbands? I probably wouldn't tell either. LOL
I am praying for your sister. Was this for her cataracts? Just to let you know that I did too and so did my sisters all had trouble for a couple weeks to a month after the second one. But it does subside and get better, if that might ease her mind a little.
(It might look a little bit better if you put your announcement about your sister down two lines from the Pinterest announcement, so it gets noticed easier)

No, this was not from my life. None of them had affairs. There are plenty of other things men can do that ruin stuff. I will fix the author's notes. Thanks for the read. Karen
