It’s Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poets Pub. The writing prompt is spoil.
You should be mine,
heart and soul, like
it was meant to be.
But no. You just had to
fall in love with
that one. Couldn’t you
have waited? Wasn’t I
worth it? My impatient
love, you’ve spoiled everything —
you and your damn wife.
Interesting take on the prompt. Love it!
Thank you!
so much gone wrong and spoiled in this one poem, you did justice to the word!
Thank you, Gina! Much appreciated. :-)
Spoil prompt has brought out the flip sides a lot , of jealousy, of honesty, of… apples? It has been fun, unexpected twists.
Ha.. the best ones are always taken… sometimes second best is better still
But if they were second best, they wouldn’t be best, would they? :-)
Cuz it’s all like, y’know a contest, idn’t it? 😏 🥇
Sigh the sting of love and attraction towards someone whom we can never hope to have … the longing and ache is palpable in your poem 🍁❤
Thanks so much, sanaarizvi. We can’t always get what we want, sadly.
Oh my. Never get involved with a married man
Never ever.
Unless he is your husband
LOL, this is true. I am grateful for my loving husband and his loyalty.
You’re very lucky. :-)
Oh dear….some never learn.
Yep! Live. Learn. Repeat…
Nice last line with that “damn wife”.
Thanks, Frank. I kinda liked that one too.
Well that’s an interesting conversation-poem! And the final line is the twist on the femme fatale…except it’s the wife who ends it all! Unique and really-enoyed-it response to the prompt!
Thanks so much Lillian! :-)
Oh gosh, feeling the reverb.
;-)
