Hard Lesson

Missing image

The conman spurred on by obsession,
Attempts to earn a new possession.
With art he crafts his sweet expression,
To bring to bear a misimpression,
That hides his unabashed aggression.
The tricks and tools of his profession
Will orchestrate a fools progression.
With ruthlessness at his discretion,
Each lie extracts a small concession,
Planned cunningly in neat succession,
To fleece you with his bold transgression,
Then leave you with acute depression.

  • Thank you for your entry

    I have to say that the repitiion of the same rhyme scheme through out is a little overbearing and detracts from the poem. But I do give props for being able to use that many words that all rhyme.

    The form was well done, though I don't think the actual 'twist' was at the end, it was more the inevitable.

    I encourage you to keep writing to read and comment.

    God Bless
