It’s your eyes
I want
To scratch
Rip from your face
Anything,
To keep you from
The man I love.
How will he see me
In all my finery,
When you sloth about
In front of him.
Why oh why in all that’s right
Does he favour you?
A walking hasbeen
A nothing, a slag among women.
You pout,
You flaunt
Your tasteless shamefulness.
Where I am class you are arse
Where I am breeding you are needing,
And yet I see you on his arm
Here and there.
Though you may be
The talk of the town
Nothing said is quotable
Unless you are into
Derision and ridicule.
Society twitters
Of mutton dressed as lamb
Of punching above your weight
Of the uneducated
The inarticulate
‘She looks good, but you’ll shiver when she speaks.’
You are the mockery of society
Not fit to clean my shoes, let alone my house.
I shall watch with interest
As you stuff up
Fall flat
Disgrace yourself.
My chance will come
He’ll see you for who you are
When you disgrace him
Embroil him in an intolerable scandal.
He’ll dismiss you with a cursory wave
Whereupon, I will step forward
Take him in hand
Lift him back
To where he belongs.

So is there going to be a 4th? Where she kills her nemesis? Looks like she is headed that way…..
I see what you mean Jackie that could be the next step but I think I have played enough with this topic. More violence could be very unsavoury. Thanks for your comment.
and jealousy isn’t unsavoury? lol…..just saying….
Such hatred & misery in jealousy.
Can we kick her to the curb now? LOL
One two three, to the curb she goes.
HOORAY!
You did well with the series though.
Thank you RoSy. Tomorrow something different again.
You’ve written this one so well — just like the others and characterised the personality brilliantly. I’ve never been able to understand jealousy like that. I’ve never been able to understand bitchiness, nastiness, one-upmanship that (mostly) women indulge in. Obviously I ran in the wrong (or is it right) circles 🙂
Well good for you Lyn. I am pleased to know that. Seems such a waste of time doesn’t it to engage like this. Thanks for reading and your comment.
‘She’ obviously feels she has a higher status, jealousy brought about from insecurity, which is what it is. Nicely written trilogy Michael.
Thank you Jenny appreciate your kind and generous comment.
Welcome Michael
Yeow! Looks like someone is in dire need of help! I think you saved the best for last..each poem stands alone and together they are delectable. ~ Pat
Thanks Pat I appreciate you reading all three and your lovely comment. Have a good day.
WOW!! I could almost feel the eye scratching in this one!! lol
Ha I fear if I explore further, blood will be spilt. Thanks Lou for reading and commenting on all three I appreciate it.
Great stuff Michael – I enjoyed them!
