Hi Mrs. KT,
I'll be sure to avoid visiting you in the winter when you're washing the floors lol! This is really well done. I wish I had a six to give you. This is an excellent contest entry and I believe you'll be a strong contender. I've never seen the play, "Arsenic and Old Lace".
Best wishes in the contest.

Hi Joy!
Hah! If you only knew! I love to wash my floors! GAWD! I hope I don't look like that poor woman, though!
What a hoot it was to pen this piece. I couldn't get the first part out of my head, so I just went with it!
You must find time to watch Arsenic and Old Lace = Cary Grant and Boris Karloff. It's a classic!
Thank you for your humorous and complimentary review!

Comment from Susan Burger
Very nice! Your story and rhymes have and even flow to them. You make the story of them wanting to kill one another almost comedic with your writing. I enjoyed this piece. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Susan!
I was hoping that it was more humorous than horror-filled. I just wanted to have a bit of fun...
Thank you for your kind review!

author,
I remember well Arsenic and Old Lace. Your rhyme scheme and cadence is great and lends to the tone of this sinister poem. Very well done..you should have entered this in a STORY IN A POEM contest...

No worries!
I am already in a fright from just taking the risk of penning this... :)
Have a wonderful evening!

Mrs.KT, I was at first going to award you with a 5 star for your brilliance. The longer I read your poem and it did seem to go on and on, I decided on a 6 star rating. I was rooting for the old woman in your poem, and I hope she doesn't get caught. Good job. The kurlman

Hah!
It took her a long time to finally admit the revenge she had been plotting on the old geezer! :) These acts take time!
It was a "hoot" to write...mainly because I seldom write rhyming verse and this is just plain twisted! But I felt I needed to have a bit of fun...and it has been a very long winter.
Thank you for your exceptional review! Smiles all around!

Mrs. KT, IT WOULD MAKE A PLAY, The kurlman
Comment from lyenochka
Oh, dear! This is quite the scary tale and yet the sinister aspect of it sort of creeps up on the reader without much warning. And then we get the full story of repeated abuse. It also fits the old idea that female murderers are more likely to use poison than violence. Well told in a complete monologue in verse!
