My, aren't we a bloodthirsty crew. No wonder we scare the world to death. I love your voice in this piece, Diane. I can hear it plainly, so reasonable in its madness. So sorry I'm out of 6s. :) Nancy

Hi Nancy!
This one was a "hoot" to pen! So much fun! And my crew definitely was bloodthirsty - if not just plain twisted! Yikes!
Thank you so much!

Comment from Edwin Hofert
Incredible! I loved it and I hung on every word. You managed to capture it in just the way you intended to! With all it's twists and turns. Roberts scandalous plan was foiled by someone with a better plan. Remind me to never make you angry lol. Great job! It's a winner!

Hi Edwin!
I so appreciate your exceptional rating and complimentary review of my tragic, twisted tale! I am pretty darn harmless...well..on second thought...maybe not! :) Definitely a fun verse to pen!
Thank you ever so much again!

I guess the wife is not really that crazy, her actions are not unfounded because she is the creation of his husband who did not treat her well. She's just protecting herself and that's her way of fighting back. The means though is not justifiable for murder is wrong. The author did an excellent job in incorporating a story in the poem.

A great story. Poor old Robert, still I think he deserved it. I hope she got away with it.

Comment from Gloria ....
This is exceptionally well-written Diane. I must admit I was fascinated from start to finish how this would end for poor old soggy Robert. A fine story and a top of the line poem. Something completely unique too. :)

Hello Gloria,
Thank you ever so much for your complimentary and positive review.
Quite the departure from my usual chickadee and hepatica fare!
I had so much fun penning this one!
Take Care,

Comment from LIJ Red
Finally humanity is getting away from this. First marriages end in divorce 41 % of the time. Second, 60 %, third, 73 %. And 35% of kids don't have to worry about mean daddies. Things are looking up. Excellent story poem.

Skillfully done. Reads like a ballad. Skillful work in keeping to one person's point of view. Love how the wife keeps her cool and keeps addressing him with endearing words. The repetition at the beginning and end would be interpreted in different moods.

This is a good entry for the 'Share A Story In A Poem' writing prompt.
A clear story in your well rhymed verse. One can only put up with so much, yes?
Good luck to you with this one in the competition.

This read like a song. What delightful verse to weave such a tale. Your story telling is wonderful and the cadence is catchy.

Woah!
Hello Dorinda!
Thank you very much for this complimentary and exceptional review!
And you weren't offended? That is/was my greatest fear; that I might offend someone. Just having the need to tell a story in rhyme, and it came out this way!
Smiles all around!
