Notes About The Poem

Infidelity

I was your bride, stood by your side - now you have lied
I said before; lies I abhor… you told me four
Words get heated, you’d  cheated , I feel defeated
Your mum is sad and tells your dad, I’m boiling mad!
That blonde masseur - you’d slept with her, my minds a blur 
I see red, you’d defiled our bed  … your ego fed
You low life lout I scream and shout  - I throw you out
I’ve packed your bag … go to that hag  - soon tongues will wag
You’ve got no dough a crushing blow … she says just go!
A home you lack, can you come back  -  sling your hook Jack!

A big big congratulations for this feat. I am so sorry this is coming a month late, due to the pressure, we medical practitioners are facing at this time, I didn't have the time to go through the contest, but I am glad I did. it was a difficult decision to make, a big congratulations to you once again.

This is great! Adultery is about the worst thing someone can do. In college, I broke a special girl's heart mostly because I cheated on her when we were dating. If that happened in marriage, I could not imagine the damage.

thanks for sharing Simon - In life I guess we all learn by our mistakes and wish we could turn back the clock:-( hugs Jan x

Some men just cannot survive without other women in their life, they break innocent hearts not acknowledging the chaos they have caused, the pure despair that clouds their relationship. So good he was thrown out of the mistress's bed, he must have been mad in his head to return to a loving home but got the reaction he deserved. Excellent, so well penned Jan and muse. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.

Hello Jan ... no second, third, or fourth chance in your verse. That's what I enjoyed reading. A consequence paid in full and the regret for him to live with - well done Jan; a message for all - Lindsay

I'm with Tom on his thinking. No second chance for an adulterer. I can forgive a lot of things, and maybe I'd even forgive a betrayal, but not take him back. Your muse is working overtime since she's returned...lol

It amazes me Jan when cheaters realise the grass is greener back home they crawl back wanting another go. First thing I'd do is change the locks and get a rottweiler lol. Tom

Lol yeah those actions sound ideal deterrents lol I have known a few both men and women who have regretted their decision to leave once the lust wears off:-( hugs Jan xx
