BRAVO Missy!!! :)
I absolutely love, love, love this! Mystical artwork that obviously moved you to write this. Your description of each word comes alive. I think this is how most scorned women feel when another woman has her man. I especially like what your wrote at the end. Great job! :)
Shana :)

I am so sorry!
What a striking, dark poem about a woman scorned!
And how a cheerful person can bring out the worst in us.
Powerful wording!

It was so hard to read the imagined scenario between the new lover and him.
So well structured!

I have just one little suggestion:
The first stanza uses the word inside twice - on could be substituted with "within".

Everything else is really well written.

Your poem addresses jealousy in a way not often seen. The picture is appropriate for the words,
Now envy has taken root, envy of her looks, her smile...
Tread lightly my dear,
Well done,
:-) Carolyn

That is quite the picture for a challenge. I'll have to read fastdigits too. Even though it is a poem of revenge it has a flavor of erotica too. Nice job in this.

Whoa! Your ending both in content and technique is really effective:


I've
Turned
Bitter
Cold
And yes
Dangerous

Tread ... lightly
My dear

It is, as you say, for my pleasure--and it IS a pleasure indeed. You go get that baa-stud!

Wow, this is a bit frightening - she sounds really ticked off and yes, "dangerous". (LOL) I guess the old saying about a woman scorned is true, at least that's what this powerful free verse says to me! (What artwork too - your interpretation for it is great!)

    Hi - are you entering the code directly after the letters that follow "embed", but before the next quotation mark? It should work... and you did wonderful justice to the art. :))
reply by the author on 20-Mar-2016
    I waited for the video to start and right clicked...clicked on copy embedded link and them pasted in my work.
reply by Dawn Munro on 20-Mar-2016
    But there is a code you have to add to YouTube's code to make it start automatically. It goes in where I told you - after embed and the letters that follow, but before the next "
reply by Dawn Munro on 20-Mar-2016
    You add that code while your video is in the edit window - that' when you see YouTube' code, not while the video is playing. :)
reply by the author on 20-Mar-2016
    I did...but it copied the code and I just pasted in Authors notes. You said EMBEDDED
reply by the author on 20-Mar-2016
    code right...it sent for I was finished...grrr
reply by Dawn Munro on 20-Mar-2016
    Nope - what are you referring to? How to incorporate video or how to make it start automatically? I think you're confusing them - it is two different things. Once the video is there, THAT'S when you have to add another code to the YouTube one.
reply by Dawn Munro on 20-Mar-2016
    I'll tell you what to do so you will know forevermore how to do it - send me the whole code in a PM - that way I can edit it to show you what I'm talking about, okay?
reply by Dawn Munro on 20-Mar-2016
    Ooops, better make that the whole code MINUS the first bit or it will just turn into the video in the PM. LOL

Interesting poem of jealousy and revenge..I put a spell on you...and yet, spells seem to injure the person creating them in the long run..hearts become black..reality distorted.. and who really wants someone who is not there by choice? Nicely done, though.

Great piece of artwork. Envy and jealousy are dangerous things for sure. If his eyes are on someone else, he's not worth her time.
