I wrote this poem for the contest alone. I tried to caputure the persona of an abused woman.

Bitter Sweet Revenge Your love hurts me I think about hurting you bad Why did you change into a beast? I want you to know pain deeply Why Punch me So? What have I done? Hired a known thug to scare you straight I called it off good bye 12-6-16 Contest: Duplex Sponsor: Jan Allison Using duplex form (2-syllables each line to line A story)

Wow! Some scary stuff, Alexis. You know how to some fear in someone w/this poem. Dark and cool. She called it off though, that was good. Ha ha ha. Hope you do well in the contest. Love you always.

Glad to see you've given abuse a voice, these guys are bullies, a 'known thug' would have served him up his just desserts. Good luck with the contest Alexis.
