Notes About The Poem

No More Chances

I gave him a second chance, a third and fourth chance. He was a smooth talker- a fraud! Prisoner of pretty words, I did not see the truth, oh, I was smitten easy prey for a skilled abuser and yet I miss him still! His words pretty, charming ways, his fierce deep kisses! My chain was sweet lust and desire, it was hard to push him away- it took all my strength. I was smitten an easy prey for an evil man skilled at getting what he wants! _____________________________ September 3, 2016 Poetry/Fibonacci/No More Chances Copyright Protected, ID 16- 825-496-0 All Rights Reserved.

This type of poem seems so hard to write, but you make it look easy! The shape, the fibonaccci sequence, none of it distracts from, only enhances, the message. ISN'T IT TRUE!!!??? That Evil often wears a friendly face... As a friend of mine used to say, 'Strong Work!'

I enjoyed seeing your model for us. This kind of scoundrel women often waste their time on. It's so true!! Thanks for this challenge, Constance. Great example for us.

Hi Friends, the tricky part of this form is that last 21 syllable line, it cannot roll over to the next line whether you center or not, it must all be on one line. Please give my Fibonacci challenge contest a whirl.
