Notes About The Poem

 

Adamsite: poisonous yellow gas with arsenic

Wifely Almost Revenge

She saw her husband hold a woman tight.
Began plotting his death with adamsite.
Rage dissipated and became more light
When his cousin came to spend the night

For it was the woman she had seen
Hugging her husband so rich and keen.
Adamsite pushed behind things that clean.
Killing him now would be really mean
