It’s Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poets Pub. The writing prompt is spoil.
You should be mine,
heart and soul, like
it was meant to be.
But no. You just had to
fall in love with
that one. Couldn’t you
have waited? Wasn’t I
worth it? My impatient
love, you’ve spoiled everything —
you and your damn wife.
Interesting piece of poetry. Love your blog and your writings. Hope to see more from you. Keep up the good work. 😊😊😊

Well that’s an interesting conversation-poem! And the final line is the twist on the femme fatale…except it’s the wife who ends it all! Unique and really-enoyed-it response to the prompt!

Sigh the sting of love and attraction towards someone whom we can never hope to have … the longing and ache is palpable in your poem 🍁❤

Spoil prompt has brought out the flip sides a lot , of jealousy, of honesty, of… apples? It has been fun, unexpected twists.
