Dear Poet,
For me these seems that this evil female does cause you pain and leaves you stranded. For she is out to do you harm even though all you want is a wild romp in the hay.
Good luck in the contest.
Warm regards,
Winslow

Are you kidding me? This is freaking brilliant. What an journey of mockery and disbelief and wtf you just took me on. So truly true. And so well done. I'm just glad I had a six to give it.

It's hard to talk about what you don't know. Vindictiveness for the sake of it? Sounds like someone had one too many. "Is that a sextant in your pocket?" Funny. I like the font style, color and background. Sad picture you've displayed suggest inevitable deadly outcome. Betty Davis

Thanks for your comments and review. I'm not quite clear on why you've marked me down though. Do you have suggestions for improvement? Regards, Anon

The raw emotion you've poured out so clearly describes the skin-scorching experience of opening your heart to another, only to have the one you loved and trusted pour salt in it. You clearly illustrate that the pain of betrayal is as physical as it is emotional, and I'm sure you'll do great in this contest. Love the hawk!

Scrotal dust? Is that a real thing? Yuck.
Anyway...Dear Anonymous Poet,
Thank you for sharing this somewhat macabre look at what a wretched woman can do to a good man -- or vise versa,
Thank you for sharing, and good luck in the contest,

Ok, I have to admit I genuinely laughed out loud at the first stanza :)
Wonderful, very well done.
A very good poem throughout, I enjoyed this in a dark, guilty way.
Best of luck in the contest.
Take care.

I love that picture, though I am not certain it matches the poem you have written. It does seem quite tragic and filled with some betrayal. I like the deep red color on the black, putting emphasis on the tragic and vindictiveness. Ouch, is maybe one way to put it. Very Nicely done. Good Luck and Best Wishes in the Contest! Sherman541

Well, I suppose this poem certainly fits the criteria for a satire. It's quite tragic, emotional and humorous, all wrapped up together to make your point. I think it fits the challenge of betrayal quite well.
