Aborted Love Footles

they met,
felt blest.

stars smiled,
friends hailed.

time moved,
life flowed.

doubts crept,
trust, slept.

he yelled,
peace stilled.

she wept,
distraught.

hate grew,
winds blew.

both fought,
for naught.

bond shook,
love broke.

they went,
love spent.

Sara Kendrick September 8, 2026 at 4:42 AM Kind of sad, Valsa. It is awful to see love turn sour, but it happens. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Way to go. Sara K. 👏✍️

Joseph P. DiMino April 1, 2026 at 7:57 PM Unfortunately, the way of love too often. Starts out great...and then...well, had my experiences. Well told.

Yann Rolland March 31, 2026 at 3:36 AM well done, and touching verses, thanks poet

I Am Anaya March 30, 2026 at 2:57 PM Congratulations Valsa! It's nice to see footles again, you inspired me! xXhugs

CayCay Godwin March 30, 2026 at 11:47 AM I hope they didn't get married so they needn't divorce. So many peps move in together right away when it takes a GOOD three years to mostly, not totally know someone. Very clever telling of the theme via footles, the creativity here is impressive.

JC Brul March 30, 2026 at 5:46 AM Such an awesome set of footles. A love story well-told though narrated in few words. Congratulations dear Valsa. Stay creative ^____^ JCB

Anne Winter March 30, 2026 at 5:02 AM Sad but often true. Love is like that. Two people fall in love but then drift apart so easily. Brilliantly written footle. Best, Anne

Victor Buhagiar March 30, 2026 at 1:59 AM A sad story, so common these days. Best for a win. Victor Buhagiar April 1, 2026 at 1:51 AM No new poem from you today. I wish you a happy Easter.

Karen Jones March 29, 2026 at 9:48 PM Clever! Your few words unfold into a coherent story! Great job!

Mike Bayles March 29, 2026 at 6:31 PM Such a nice rhyme pattern. I enjoyed the form.

I Am Anaya March 29, 2026 at 12:44 PM Footles you made look easy, Valsa. Great entry, surely to place! xX

Paula Goldsmith March 29, 2026 at 11:31 AM I enjoyed reading your powerful/wonderful Footle write. "Good Luck" Have a Beautiful/Blessed ~ Easter/Spring writing away.............

Andrea Dietrich March 29, 2026 at 11:04 AM The sad story of many relationships today. I don't think you need luck with footles, but good luck just the same! (I need to think up more if them sometime for Brian)
