Moonstruck Josette There's a sad tale told of moonstruck Josette Who's love turned into ashes of regret She found romance when only sweet sixteen With the most handsome man she'd ever seen. Though he treated her unkindly at times Josette overlooked those menacing signs She adored him despite his cruel trait Then came the day he decided her fate. He took her to a wood where no one goes Josette felt he was well nigh to propose He said to close her eyes and count to ten Poor Josette never opened them again. Down in the woods lies a silent Josette Her demise so tragic one can't forget. *+* 13th November 2022

Josette, moonstruck. Me, thunderstruck. Creeps like this one are a sign of the times, i guess.

A poignant story skillfully delivered, Belle. It may be fiction but there are parallels to this story in real life. Let your imagination fly my friend.

What a murderous creep this chap was, but I do believe in good and bad karma and his will be very bad! Enjoy your poetry my friend. Hugs blessings

Thank you Jennifer, it’s to be hoped there’s no creeps such as this, if there is may the drama bring them bad karma… Hugs, Belle x

I don't know how people can believe killing someone will solve their problems?

Sadly some folk do, only fictional though. Thank you Rico… Belle

Sounds like some serial killer. Hope he'll be caught.

What a sad and heartbreaking tale, dear Josette didn't know she would pass away so suddenly and unexpectedly. What a beautiful story you have to tell, Belle.

Thank you Sotto, a made up story, not sure where the idea came from, but pleased you enjoyed reading… Belle
