Bill Schott,
Wow. What a tidy, dark arc this short poem has. Well done! It's well-written and entertaining. Evocative of new love and the slippery slope it can take. Thank you for sharing.

Stunned with the ending but you were able to conveyed it as I got alarmed with it. Excellently written as you were able to convey your intent to the reader.

I did not expect to get hit between the eyes!
Your poem does not leave this reader shocked but numb.
I expect that is what you went for and did it very well.
Very well written. It is one that sticks with you because just listening to local news; it has a reality.
Well done Sir.

Oh, murder suicide. If I can't have you, no one can. I love you so much I want to take you down with me. This poem speaks of the epitomy of unhealthy co-dependency and dependency. It is clearly a cautionary tale. Well thought out.

This is an extremely dark piece of writing. Not content with planning to commit suicide, the author intends to take his beloved along on that one way trip with him. By sheer audacity and depth of expression, it all works very well. I enjoyed it a great deal.

Hello, anonymous,

Nice entry for the Repetition Poem writing prompt contest. You followed the rules of repeating a line three times or more.

Your topic of crime of passion is eerie.. well done.

Good luck in the contest.

Wow. What a sentiment. I wish this was not a common occurrence, but I believe it is. The telling phrase, "I'll use a knife to end my life and I'm taking you with me," is sadly, all too common. Users can't be around other users for this and many other reasons. Good luck with the contest.

A very well-written repitition poem about young lovers that find life is much harder than they thought. One started using drugs and have suicide thoughts but doesn't want to go without his lover.

This is quite a shocking write of manipulation and control, ending in tragedy here. A well rhymed and poignant powerful write, very sad too, love Dolly x

This is grippingly awful... an inside view of what can happen to the 'cool' kids at school who get into drugs for heightened experiences, addicted to highs then crashing to the lows of murder and suicide. Chilling.
