Unfaithfull

I saw the devil beneath the sheets
Yet so often offered her charms to cheats

Pretending to be a true married soul
Forgetting the vows to fulfill her role

Finally she found the payment due
A video that portrayed her in every view

The end of a marriage straight from hell
Allowed me to laugh from my new cell

The devil now lives beneath the burial plot
From the casket has earned what she had sought

From my placement in life’s eternal hell
I smile with each and every day in jail

Unfaithful

Whoa... very different for you, Clentin.  A lot of sass! Dark and dangerous!  I kinda like this style for you.  Were you comfortable creating this one?  Sometimes discomfort can produce profound poetry.

I'm curious about this!

Thank you!

Thank you for reading and comments. 
I have a very loving wife! I tried something dark after reviewing a strange story on Tv.

I also try to go outside of myself sometimes  so I do not get too set in what i always do.

Your poem

It has quite a good rhythm . And beneath this layer of an poetic nature there underlays a sharp shadow of pain . Sings to cynics heart and tells the story with the utmost subtlety which I admire.

Thank you for reading and comments. I wanted to try something outside of what I usually write.

I thought...

that you did very well for the first sojourn from a rather staid and regular place. I see that you have gotten the basic intent across without much trouble at all. Basic, and somehow horrible; not only in the fact that he has killed his wife, but the satisfaction that the writer has gotten for his revenge of the killing of his marriage. Keep on writing. ~ Geez.
