This is my ten-form poetry submission to the first annual ATTYS competition.
All ten poems are related to the process of coming to terms with different life situations: a miscarriage, the death of a loved one in the Vietnam war; a political abduction; the ex-pat life; a battered wife; betrayal; Alzheimer's Disease; drought; isolation; a mother/daughter relationship.
Thank you for reading my submission. I hope these poems "speak" to you!

The Romanian Noblewoman (Lady Dimitrescu x Female Reader)
⚠️*MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING*⚠️ ⚠️*KINDLY READ ONLY IF YOU'RE AN ADULT. THERE IS A LOT OF SEXUAL CONTENT, VIOLENCE, INAPPROPRIATE SCENES AND FOUL LANGUAGE*⚠️ You have lost track of time completely. You still wonder how you got here in the first place. The land is barren as far as your eyes can see and yet, there is company in some form. After being introduced to the Lady Dimitrescu, you wonder why on Earth you decided to keep on surviving. Her hands and speech reeked of nothing but cruelty. Nevertheless, you manage to survive all of her temper tantrums. Just as you thought you cannot take it anymore, the tall woman starts to mellow. But your worth reaches the ears of Mother Miranda, who quickly takes an interest in you. As you're being pulled on all sides by different people, you long to be with only one. Your Alcina Dimitrescu. Is it worth it? Will you escape or will you stay? . . This story contains scenes of explicit violence, sex, inappropriate behaviour and foul language. I am also thinking of including a few risque scenes with the Dimitrescu girls. Also, I do want to give justice to Donna. There will be a few intimate (maybe?) scenes with her, as well. I do have a rough idea as to how I want the story to progress but let's see how it turns out lol. This is my first story so please be kind. Yours truly, I. J. DreadfulComplete

Oh, To Be The Lady's - [A Lady Dimitrescu/Female Reader-Insert Story]
When your wife hesitates to let you go to the village market alone, you scoff at her overprotective nature. With Alcina's Mark, her claim, sitting proudly on your neck for all the world to see, only a fool would even think about trying anything with you.
