Playing Ball

I can't wait to see your eyes
when I wake you in the morning.
You won't know what to say,
I've not given any warning.

Fueled by rage I sit here,
sewing together our bedsheets.
Betrayal won't be forgiven
as long as your heart still beats.

Sitting in the dark
I await the coming dawn.
Seething with anger
I watch you wake with a yawn.

To no avail you try to move
becoming more confused.
You never should have cheated
I can't stand to be used!

Grabbing my bat,
standing over your immobilized form,
poised to take a swing
I sweetly ask you if you're warm.

Sputtering and begging,
you're trying to break free.
The bat connects with your balls...



you shouldn't have cheated on me.

    Ouch!! But well done babe, woman power! Hey, when a woman cheats it's one of the worst sins ever... When a guy cheats, it just seems to make the marriage/relationship a little unstable for a while and his mates can't see what the problem is (you didn't do anything wrong paul, it's her). Gah... Funny as though.

    um ouch, that hurts, I hope no one ever cheats on you for two reasons! 1) people should never cheat on anyone and 2) it would be a painful mistake!

    This being capital punishment for cheating I think I may avoid any relationship at all to make sure it doesn't possibly happen to me. But aside from a general fear of the inner workings of a woman's mind, This was truely a lifter-upper for my day. It brought a smile and a chuckle as the bad guy got what he desearved in the end, like every good story. Keep up the wonderful work!

    Well the Cardinels won the World Series, but it seems you took home one of their winning bats! LOL This is so like lip biting crazy! I was nervous for the dude! LOL...Anyhow if this really happened..then I know you are tough, and if we ever became friends I would not ever cross you! Anyhow, cheaters never can truly get away with what they have done even when they think they have. This was a great write, entertaining as well...crucial for him! LOL

    Oh,my nuts.
    I hope you didn't really do that.
    Hit him in the head or stab him but not the balls.
    That said thats a great poem but I'm kinda scared of you now.
    All jokes aside,You did a wonderful job of expressing your self.
    I like that you got graphic with out being tasteless.
    Alot of poets can't do that so props on being one who can.

    This was a surprize package within poetry,no heartbraking lament but a lesson to be learned,well written and imagery good and loved the build up to the end.
    I had a few "ouch " comments from guys when I posted a write with ten ideas for um er shall we say similar lessons but the ladies ,ah bless them,they all related to it!
    Loved the revelation of your prank on the teacher/car with the seran wrap,a perfect jape as neither the car nor the guy was harmed but the point was made,that is exactly the kind of thing I have imagined doing.Well done indeed!

    If you want to do something to his car I recommend vaseline and tons of saran wrap. You vaseline the entire car and then saran wrap the car shut. Go over and under and around. Smear more vaseline on the outside of the saran wrap and he'll have a hell of a time getting it off. Doesn't hurt the car (to abide by your love of cars) but truly frustrates the hell out of him. (Did this to my biology teachers '69 vette back in high school). Really pisses them off!

    Hehe OUCH! Good one although that would be quite a sewing accomplishment. I would say I felt baf for the fellow but I've really not very much respect at all for cheaters. Good cry of vengeance in this poem.

    Ouch!!! Damn that hurt! Vicious girl, just vicious. Well I agree that revenge can be cathartic. People like to blather on about how revenge is a waste of time and you shouldnt stoop to that level and whatever but fuck it, sometimwes its good to get down and dirty, and just give as good as you've gotten.
    Well Babe Ruth keep penning.

    Quite an amusing one. It seems revenge really can be sweet!

    I like how you kept this short and to the point. The rhyme worked great, and was a nice thing to include on this piece. I always enjoy rhyme, and for a shorter piece like this I feel it really gives a lot of power to the fewer words used.

    All in all, though, I think I would have been satisfied with stapling the sheets. That is too funny. But then, I'm a guy, of course I'd probably prefer to skip the second part!

    I'm all out of applause for the night, so I'll be back tomorrow to make my contribution to the thunder.

    Best wishes,

    -Tim

    whoa~ nasty~~
    ahh i can feel the pain that you felt and why you did this
    but really that is nasty~
    i liked your rhyme it's super good.
    the only one part is at the second last line "the batS connectS with your balls"
    it's either the bat connects with your balls
    or the bats connect with your balls

    good write
    a lesson to be learned if you don't want to go impotant: you shouldn't have cheated on her. or on any girl for that matter.
