Notes About The Poem

Dumpster Fire Contest Sponsored by Margarita Lilico 01/11/25

Burning Love




My dumpster's ablaze, it's on fire
To destroy his flames of desire
I've burnt all his clothes
And HER pantyhose
He'd denied affair - damn liar!

So wonderfully imaginative, Jan. Adultery is certainly a fiery entanglement for all involved. Clever writing. A scorcher. Loved it.

Jan, funny how a dumpster fire destroys the flames of desire. It's a poetic combination that makes us all think about how these things could happen and what the results bring. I'm very lucky not to have first hand experience with this issue, but I can still laugh/cry about it and the way you sum it all up! That takes talent!

Ouch! I'm sure glad I'm not the guilty guy. Nothing worse than a woman scorned. "Liar, liar pants on fire!" Well done & a lot of fun ~ Terrell
