I like that there were so many emotions and senses in this. The love, the betrayal, the sadness. Then the pain of the rock and the salt of the tears. It was a visual poem. Visual and emotional. Well done. Gretchen

nicely done you nailed the poem with this poem about a tragic love affair and a toxic relationship. I can feel the pain, the anguish and the despair of loving someone who is just bad for your soul.

Hi Jake, thank you.
Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the octelle poem for the potlatch challenge. Who doesn't know what a broken heart feels like?
The rhymes and meter didn't seem forced.
the structure makes sense. it draws on emotions and it presents strong images.
I Would recommend it.

Gypsy, thank you.
Comment from Bill Schott
This octelle, Tainted, has the proper formatting and finds that the love is less genuine than one had hoped, and the experience now defines the parameters of one's relationship.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your octelle read well, JLR. I enjoyed reading it. I liked
the image and color scheme. Your repeated lime fit in
perfectly. Great job with the rhymes, too. Your story
told of how one lover was fooled into believing s/he
found true love though it wasn't to be.
Thanks for participating, Jan

Great write for this Octelle challenge JLR. Beneath this cloak of love was not what he was looking for. A different perspective from you, dramatic and descriptive and I loved it. Cheers

Wow, this is a little different from you, the writer of love poetry. A great diversion and aptly illustrated. Vivid imagery of the hurtful one. Sending you my best today as always,

Comment from JT traveller
Once again, another beautifully composed poem. The repetition serves to emphasise your emotions. Great work.
Great flow.
My favourite line,
"Your voice tosses salty mist
that blemishes your soft kiss."
Perfect!

You crafted this Octelle poem well and told a story as well about a love that did not match the behavior and words. The metaphor of words that are like rocks hurled from a sling is vivid.
was fools gold, a nasty lure. (fool's)
