Tammy Reams Poet Sonnet

Mad As a Hornet 'A Woman Scorned'

Sitting with calm you know I'm a psychotic love
  bewitching I watch your entanglement affair
  going insane my voice in my mind gives a shove
  playing around my wrath has made you unaware

  Treachery and your sweet talk with my loyalty lost
  hysterically I laugh outside her window 'Dear'
  my sting will be swift like a lonely hornet wasp
  giving her all your promise and affections I sneer

  To the play you say to see 'Madam Butterfly'
  your twinkling eyes lusting into the room she glides
  relish your moment with the pleasure of your prize

  The dagger awaits in my dress tied to my waist
  tonight's biggest performance your death as I pace
  then mine at the end the dagger I slide with grace.

Sara Kendrick October 19, 2015 at 6:26 AM Reads like a winner..Way to go for the contest..Some stories featured on ID on TV reveal some strange things that women do when they are scorned..I enjoyed reading your thoughts on the topic..Thanks for stopping by..Sara Tammy Reams October 25, 2015 at 6:20 AM Thank you again Sara for the great comment.
