Cheater

Limp pacing and countless shots

A couple’s therapist imparts to a cheating wife

Childhood friends now

As spouses, they live in Washington

A minister she admonishes her daughter

Easy prey for seductions

But even prayer can’t save her from a cruel heavy-handed lesson.

I chose to write my poem from an article on Tyler Perry’s new movie “Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor” because it seem to have caught everyone’s attention and it seem to be a very interesting. My poem points out the main problem for a therapist wife who turns to cheating after her husband seem to be forgetting about her.  She ignores the warnings of her mother and then her relationship with her new found lover seems to go all wrong. After I found this article it was pretty easy to write my poem finding the meaning or deep words and phrases to tell a short story. To me it was definitely worth writing a poem from the article because I could go deeper than the movie using words.
