After the Romance

after the romance
came boredom and arguments
then divorce papers

*hope this isn’t too bleak – I read the form should be cynical or darkly humorous

ARE you saying francine's contest said to be cynical? Or you read somewhere that senryu is generally that way? hmmm. IN any event,I think this can work well for her contest. YOur title was a great one for what you wrote, jack!

Very witty, Jack. I didn't now senryu need to be cynical, but you certainly captured the dark humor here. Best wishes in Francine's contest! Love, Carolyn
