Who doesn't like being playful with forms. I somewhat turn a tyburn upside down. I had to use some slant rhymes to make this one work.

Sable Gable Betray’l Fatal Eyes that pierced, not sable, Gable-gray. Won’t give a d$mn - betray’l fatal bray. Absolving his harlot Scarlet wife. Dismissive of starlit starlet strife. Harlot Scarlet starlit starlet

Dear Kim, your creative ingenious pen shines in the wordplay, imagery and the sprinklings of assonance & alliterations that spice your verse so lyrically. A gem! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
