Yours is only the third or so poem in this form that I've read - I like it. You certainly have painted quite an indicting picture of betrayal with your well chosen words and the form seems to be fine. Brooke

Hi Sue

I love this little poem, packed with emotions. I especially like the line:

'Begging for relief to
begin healing from grief'

You've so well described the feelings we have when we're betrayed. Good luck in the contest. A great contender.

Hugs

Roisin

This is the first poem of this type that I have ever read. Yours seems to flow well. Betrayal is a powerful word and conjures up a lot of emotion. Well done- Sam

This is terrific, Sue.
I saw the contest but couldn't think of anything. I'm glad I saved $5, having read your powerful and emotional words.
Two skilful internal rhymes add depth to a restrictive format, in which you've excelled here.
Good luck n love, Ray xx

    Ray, thanks for mentioning the internal rhymes. I felt this piece would die an instant death OR bore everyone else to death! LOL!! Thanks so much for your great comments and review. Sue xx

So that's a Pleiades, huh? I wonder if I'll ever learn them all if I'm on this site long enough. You did a nice job--very clever poem. I bet it was challenging. Thanks for sharing.

    HA! Yes, that photo does look a bit scary! But, so is betrayal. Takes a long time to get over it. Thanks so much for your great review! Sue

Good use of the form...it worked for me.

As a reader, having the first letters capped took away from the enjoyment. As the caps signal the beginning of a sentence and in some cases this is not the case. So I tripped over the caps each time a read it.

Wow...what a long explantion...much longer than your poem.

    You might have a point there on the caps. I was just going by the contest examples. Perhaps I can put lower cases there. Will check it out. Thanks much for that. And for your great review! Sue :-))
