'If you don't want to hear how you left me broken hearted,then don't get me started.' I like this line. I take it the girl asked how the poet was? This is a well written poem. Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Another poem style I must learn and appreciate its values and with these clear identified works -perhaps a better review. I found this work creative.

I liked the use of repetition, it strengthened the feeling of frustration and pain at your loved one's disregard. Excellent rhyming and expression of love. Good luck in the contest. Faye

I'm up late tonight doing bonus reviewing and your work has come up twice.
Is this one of your songs? It has such a nice rhythm and rhyme to it. You have followed the prompt perfectly with your repeat line.

Best of luck in the contest.

    I fanned you, but your work isn't coming to my message box.
    I'm going to fan you again and see if it works this time.

    It says that I already fanned you.
    This isn't a blind contest, so it should be in my messages.
    Maybe, it takes more than a day for the request to go through.

HI Bret,
This is a good poem
It is smooth and lyrical.
I really don't see anything
you would need to change or correct.
Have you set it to music yet?
Overall it is a good poem for the contest.

Well done Brett, you certainly fulfilled the requirements of these contest conditions, you've done well with this nicely written work, that exudes fine descriptive imagery and eloquently presented language, it sometimes hard to believe that this is a lot longer than it actually is, masterful job, my friend, good luck in the contest, well done, blessings, Roy,

Hi Brett,

This sounds like it could lyrics for a song, especially with the one stanza repeated three times. (At first I thought it was a mistake, but then I realized it is deliberate.) Just a couple of suggestions that you may or may not want to use:

Now, I am the one that's (who's) left behind.

So, if you don't wanna hear how you left me brokenhearted(,)
then don't get me started.

Lois

    Thanks for your comments and support. This began life as a Country lyric so the repeating lines are the refrain. Appreciate your comments and support.

The confines of the repeated lines poetry restrict meaning as they just say the same sentiment in a reverse order. I don't particularly like the contests and writing prompts for that reason. you have conveyed a broken heart that can't fight the urge to tell over and over how wrong he has been done.

Thank you for sharing.

It's a hard fall {from} the top might sound better.
