I confess to being a bit disappointed. I noticed this -- at least the title and the picture just before going to bed last night, when it was billed as a crown cinquain. It was late and I wanted to do it justice and I was really intrigued by the detailed note that accompanied it.

Coming back to it this morning, and there it was, gone. Then just now this evanescent piece had returned but definitely in a different guise and no note. Pity, I thought.

It still works as a piece of free verse but I would love to know why you disabled the original, none of my business really, but I am just curious.

I have never read a crown cinquain before and your information was so interesting. The poem itself was SO good. I am in awe. The stolen love, the revenge are all so cleverly depicted in your poem. The fresh, 'pretty' beginning turned to something really horrible. Well done. Susan

A very well-written poem. Your words flowed well line to line combining easily and forming the message of the poem for the reader. Thank you for adding the information about Adelaide Crapsey.

This poem does show the sadness all around by a man who is adulterous.
I am not sure how the end or the poem matches the inverse syllable count. It goes awry at the line He's mine, I'm his because thats four syllables when it is supposed to be two. You explain the butterely but not the counts of a crown of cinquins.

I enjoyed the way that you constructed this wonderful and inventive poem, i also was very impressed with all the research that you did composing your authors notes.

Ouch!
I guess it's true.
Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn.
Your words flow through this poem at an exceptional pace and paint an image of a woman ready to exact her revenge on a two-timer.

Your author's notes are just as interesting as the poem above them, Luna. That is quite a background you explained on the cinquain. I had no idea, but on the other hand I have never tried to write one either. Excellent presentation, my friend. Blessings, Bob

Oh dear, what a sad yet vengeful piece. I really liked the notes that you added to further explain.
Very well done and I wondered about the picture but when I finished, I understood
