The Double Cross;
The witch; Bad when I want
I am dying most every one knows
I've a terrible pain in my side
Its migrated to my head and more
It isn't all bad because now I
can be bad when I want, terribly
I can be good when I can afford
I call it my wedding day murder
Mean guy he was dead before he died
Two days after that day I killed him
Placed the body in the piazza
Was a half hour before daylight
Almost dark as the lights had gone out
Our love had been hot real destructive
The husband's secret won't be revealed,
fake name another love perfect crime

- I'm also linked to NaPoWriMo, Day 13, at http://www.napowrimo.net/day-thirteen-5/. We were instructed to write of witches, either good or bad. My little bride with can be either as she wishes.
- Magaly wanted us to "write a new poem that includes 3 book titles (each title must contain at least 3 words, and you must not rearrange or delete any of the words)." I had used these book titles previously in 2014 with a little Senryū that is in the book picture above, http://jimmiehov6.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-book-title-poem.html#comment-form. In my poem, the book titles are underlined.
"Mean guy he was dead before he died". Some people can certainly be walking corpses.
