This work has reached the exceptional level

Your well-penned free-verse poem of revenge plays like a dirge upon the page. Your controling husband knows all the ways of entrapment that keep you suffering and dangling like a helpless puppet on a string. But, revenge knows how to cut quick and deep, when his one weakness lures him into your bed.

This is an excellent write. It reads in a cadence that matches the dark emotions. You capture these feelings that are clear to the reader. Your words just explode that captivates the reader and your author notes are great. I think your artwork just adds. Nicely done and good luck with the contest.

I really enjoyed the piece, it took me a while to make the link to the game of chess, which is weird, because of the picture, but in my defense, i was distracted by checkered boobies

I'm glad your wicked Valentine should not be taken to heart! You just walked on the dark side for a bit! Very witty, thank you for sharing.

What a thought provoking poem. The picture was a wonderful accompaniment. I love the slinking nature and the darkness of the words and how it creeps up to a very matter of fact end. The comparison to the game Chess is also cleverly handled.
