    Thanks, Sally. Lots of raw material comes from the ex-wife. Ha!

Now that's a simple but very moving poem. It's amazing how cold some people are. What a wonderfully written poem. Congrats on the win!

Have a great day, and God bless.

    Thank you, Mike! Yes, the woman I had in mind while I wrote this was the coldest.

    God bless!

It seems to me that some people have a need to go straight from one relationship into another breaking hearts along the way!! This is what your short well written poem says to me. Well done.

    That was what the specific person I had in mind was all about.

Isn't it funny? We can either be a victim or we can learn from our victimness and move on, some are stalked, and some are the stalked, but yes we all have a choice, to do good. Beautifully written Douglas, well done, blessings Roy

    Thank you! I tried something a little different here and it paid off. I think we have all been the relational ?victim? at one point or another.

    Bless you, Roy!

I really appreciate the talent demonstrated in this brief poem. You told an entire imaginative story of love lost, an uncaring Ice Queen of prey, and an unsuspecting target. Well done. Congratulations on your well deserved win.

Your poem moved me. Your words are very powerful. Ice queen works well, but as I read your poem, I though of a black widow spider. The picture brings your poem home. You should do well in the contest.

Very well said, as there is a whole story of lived experience written within. Grief and loss, relationships broken, and trying to cope with resentment and perhaps bitterness. Creatively expressed. Best wishes for your entry.

    Miss Wendy, did you pick up on that I had a specific woman in mind when I wrote this? Ha! That was luggage that should have been left at the airport.

Excellent entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt contest. Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you! I tried something a little different here so not sure how it will go over. Fanstorians shall decide!

This is a really striking visual image and a simple short story delivered succinctly in seventeen syllables. Thanks for the share and good luck in the contest.

Interesting point of view, and I get it this is how life today's is, people are ice queens on both side of the fence. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.
