Dear Mystery Writer,

Nice! This poem - rather lengthy, actually - was handled well and the meter was really good throughout. There were a couple of bumps here and there, but even Shakespeare 'bumped' at times, to my way of thinking. *smile* Great entry - good luck!

    To be compared with Shakespeare, that suits me down to the ground, lol. Thank you, Robyn.

A very well written poem using random word prompts and weaving them into the poetic story. I enjoyed it. The pic is also very apt. Good luck in the contest! Happy New Year!

what a fun poem and loved the ending The next day when she met the wives, she gave a woeful cry,
"Forgive me please," she begged them. When they smiled she gave a sigh.
Now all the wives are happy that their men are not bewitched--
and they made sure they'd stay that way and got the lady hitched!

This is a joke story (poem) that will make you laugh.

The author is good in choosing a beautiful picture. You deliver a good message that most wives are jealous. What the wives do can be a joke but it fits this contest. I still gave it a FIVE.

This is a delightful tale of a very resourceful group of women. Getting the temptress married off quick was smart. I enjoyed this read, thanks for sharing. :)

So it was a love potion that saved the day! Much better than poisoning her.
I can tell you've had fun writing this, and it was a lot of fun to read to see where you were going with it. You've integrated the required words well and the rhyme and rhythm carry the story along nicely.
