Notes About The Poem

Fall Into Decay

A marriage once in mint condition,

     now besmirched; fallen into decay

          Entangled in the meshes of infidelity;

              "other woman" leads husband astray

Great imagery, Edward, how many woman do this type of flirtation to succeed in life and do not care who they hurt. Congratulations on your win! Hugs Eve

A neat stanza, Edward. Congratulations on summarising the topic so succinctly.! Yes, the bounds are incredibly elastic these days. Most people watch content that's so unrealistic, then believe they should 'star' in their own sordid feature....
