Wow. This is excellent. Well done, Mike.
Well-wrought!
This has a very Romeo and Juliet vibe to it. I love the dark take on the challenge. Well done, Mike!
Slaughtered my soul, I especially loved that! Loved your poem!
The violent tendencies of those in various kinds of relationships.
Vividly violent! Well wrought, Mike!
That was a painful blow ending
