Romance gone terribly wrong. Humor here as well as murderous mischief. Good natural rhyme. Great rhythm with no spag. Every thing flows together well. Thank you for sharing your work.

Wow Dawn, remind me not to get on the wrong side of you and sleep with my eyes open!
This is a very effective piece of writing and one that certainly lets the reader in to see what a woman scorned can feel and do. Excellent read and ...tips if I ever need them. ~DD

LOL. :) Thank you. You're a doll.

This poem brings out your inner voice, Dawn. There are folks somewhere who don't even know they are the inspiration for the two 'bout-to-be-deceased folks here. "...a thousand cuts." Ouch!

Dawn,
This Rhyming Poetry Contest entry depicts the depth of revenge and the pain of betrayal by the one least expected to undermine trust. The rhyme is well executed for effect. All the best in the contest! :0 GracieAnn

You might have written this for me - my ex who you were
describing - so well presented, Dawn - content, rhythm and
rhyme flowing so smoothly - all in all, most impressive, my friend.

That kind of person is far too common, sadly. If only we see it in them before becoming involved, but they're also great at hiding those traits, aren't they? Until they get what they want, that is...
Thanks so much, my friend.

Wow!
I felt a shiver just thinking of the dark intent.
The rhyming is effortless and the meaning precise and clear.
A powerful and commanding topic and worthy entry in this contest.
The language is rich and carefully chosen to achieve the maximum effect.
Good luck.

OOOOWWW! Remind me to stay on your good side Dawn! Love the intriguing (threatening) title ... but that could just be Halloween. Clever to riff off Elizabeth Barrett Browning, too! I had a couple of small stops in the verse below ... 'you disrespected efforts' - 'efforts' seemed a little 'empty' / neutral somehow ... I wanted an emotionally stronger choice? And 'those sins of yours alone' - I think I'd strengthen to 'those sins WERE yours alone'????
You disrespected efforts,
unless they were your own -
accused me of transgressions -
those sins of yours alone.
Just some thoughts ... hope that's okay. I'm noticing not much real meaty 'critique' on the site!
Big hugs

A good poem with a grim subject. Horror and Thriller achieved.
This has good rhythm and rhyme and the picture is outstanding.
Well done.
