Wow, mystery poet, you caught him red-handed! I had a friend once that new her husband was cheating but could never actually catch him. One night, she woke him up from a dead sleep and asked, "Who is she?" His defenses were down and he spilled. It was the next-door neighbor. I think the babysitter is worse though.

Your ending was hilarious and had a bit of smoking poke. Forgiveness is powerful and in the marriage it is given frequently. In Fidelity, a one time pass, I think.

I'm glad to know this fiction. Whew!

Sending you my best today as always, and my very best in the contest,
Sally :)) XOs

    Sally, you are so right about how bad cheating is for the innocent spouse and also the children. That is why I chose this subject, as I have a friend who committed suicide after she found out that her 40 yr marriage was a lie.
    I hope you know how much your awesome review means to me. Thank you so much for your very kind words for my poem. They are so appreciated, my dear friend!

This poem, Forgiving Cheaters, presented with eleven rhyming couplets, allows the reader to know the story, the forgiveness, and the promise of a "beheading".

Whoa, let's be careful with that blade now, Lorena. I wasn't completely certain if the writer was female or not. I had suspicions. But the Lorena Bobbit sealed the deal.

You did a nice job of putting a little humor with a bad situation. I also particularly liked the "Technically you weren't in the bed, but you were only on it? You have to be kidding me, I'll soon write you a sonnet." Not as much as the Lorena Bobbit though.

    TDL, I wrote this to show how bad cheating is for the innocent spouse and also the children. But even the most serious subjects are easier to take with a little humor. That is why I chose this subject, as I have a friend who committed suicide after she found out that her 40 yr marriage was a lie.

This poem made me grin and I loved the end. It was a person we all knew. It was well written and the hand with the eye was a nice touch. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing. Have a nice week.

Well yes, a situation such as this would require a great deal of forgiveness!! A good entry for the contest with loads of rhyme, rhythm, wit and clever wording. I'm concerned about the "I'll forgive you one more time" which implies it has happened before! A fun fictitious write!

This is a powerful write about someone cheating on their spouse and unfortunately it happens a lot. Once a cheater, always a cheater. You chose some fine words and rhymes for your poem here, a fun write, love Dolly x
