Crime

Banker embezzled our retirement

Pilfer office supplies nobody knows

Rob 'em blind face covered with pantyhose

A parking lot hit-and-run left a dent

Vandalization by a malcontent

Exorbitant taxes then they foreclose

Bury the body watch it decompose

An act of passion death by argument

Sacred summer we made a solemn vow

Caught you with him and my soul ripped apart

Battered victim larceny of the heart

The shock to find I was only part-time

I want to love again, but don't know how

Nothing hurts worse than an evil love crime

--Shenandoah Lynd

(a Petrarchan sonnet)
