Now that's what I call many twists inside a poem. I love the gender switch. What a wonderfully written rhyme. Best of luck with your writing!
Congrats on the win!
Have a great day and God bless.

Double betrayal in a manner of speaking here in this story in a poem. It is easy to see how it was that this ran out the winner of the contest. The story has a good development from beginning through middle to end and the rhythm and rhyme scheme are both well maintained.

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
I thought this was very creative. The last stanza through me for a loop as I'm sure was the intent. It didn't really go with the earlier stanza that stated it should have been with another girl. Why would he think that if he was already in a gay relationship. Wouldn't a girl have been a surprise. So I was a bit confused by that. Still, really enjoyed the poem. Love your amazing story telling in this poem. This was a joy to read.

It was a woman being cheated on be her husband. She found out he ceated on her with her twin brother, maybe because they looked alike but he found he was attracted to men. Sometimes people aren't aware that they are gay or bisexual or they deny it. It happens. Thanks again for reading my poem. :)

Hahaha. Love that finishing touch. That's actually reminiscent of my former style..is this true or did you create that ending will n the fly? Regardless, you have an ear for meter. Well done.

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem of betrayal, Double Betrayal, runs quickly through this odd relationship fractured by a husband's cheating, plus with another man, plus plus with the wife's brother. Quite the oddity. Cool.

This is very good! I love this twist at the end. I'm hoping this is fiction. Strong rhymes and a great picture to go with it. Good luck in the contest with the sure-fire winner!

Comment from LJbutterfly
Wow! This poem was masterfully written. I like the smooth flow and rhythm, not to mention the subject of betrayal. This was written tenderly and with tact, even though I knew something was going to happen when you wrote, "There's nothing like a woman scorned," but I was not ready for the surprise ending. Your artwork was perfect. Well done.

Comment from LisaMay
At first i thought your poem was heading towards a homophobic slant but then it became a case of "Betrayals the same, no matter who".
(note: Betrayal's should have an apostrophe to show it is a contraction of "Betrayal is")
Your poem will probably deservedly win because it is very well constructed, carries the theme of betrayal well in a story, and the twist at the end is one of gasp-inducing humor.

Comment from equestrik
This is a sad write and, I suppose that is just the plain truth about betrayals. The are sad and they haunt us for sure. You wrote well. Your ending lines were the real surprise!
