Notes About The Poem

Conception Deception

The bloodstained blade slipped from my trembling hand Their affair and her conception, I wouldn't try to understand I ignored his piteous cries and stabbed his heart with my knife He lied in dismal denial, but her belly had been scanned My husband crossed the threshold when he deceived me, his wife Required words, Bloodstained, conception, piteous, dismal, threshold Rhyme time with 5 contest Sponsored by laura Loo 09-21-17

My muse was in a dark frame of mind yesterday Eve. The poem may be too short for LuLoo but I managed to get all 5 words in one stanza which was my aim:-) hugs jan xx
