Retribution
She was beautiful
Raven hair, eyes that
twinkled
So love at first sight
They flirted together
At work where he was her
boss
Oh calamity!
Seduced by his charm
Ardour sprang like Spring’s blossoms
With heat yet to come
She planned the future
With joy brimming in her
heart
Yet he was married
Her pain was intense
And the retribution swift
"I have told your wife"
A story sadly too familiar, Old Egg, and I have to say that the boss got what he deserved. WHen cheating is going on, both involved are in the wrong, and as adults should know better. Sometimes we let the heat of the moment overtake our common sense, and someone always ends up paying for the resulting mess. Great story, and I hope both learned a good lesson from this dabbling :-) Thanks for joining me at Two Shoes Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting poem indeed.
ReplyDeleteawe yes, nothing so deadly as the vengence of a woman..I suppose that he should be happy that he still has the tools to chase another.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting quick little story. Pretty wild, especially the part about his wife. I think Josie is right, the whole trio needs to come undone. You are clever at unfolding a climatic story so neatly. I really like the natural turning point in the middle.
ReplyDeleteCheating doesn't pay? She has lost her job, he has lost his marriage.
ReplyDeleteNice haiku form. I call these senryū.
