Dissolution By Divorce

Great joy together...

Hearts now torn by love and hate...

Solution: Divorce.



It all began with "For Better or Worse",

But the words afterward became very terse.

Divorce was the answer she decided upon

As with me she didn't want to go on...

The only other answer was to ride a hearse.



Two people in love end up in court and for a divorce sue,
It would never have happened...had they not said, "I Do"!

We always hope for happy endings, but we don't always get them, Daniel. Much sadness in this poem but I like the humor in the line about the "hearse." Best wishes in the contest with this moving poem. Love, Carolyn

Hello, Daniel, here again~ not reading,, just scoping out the entries,, but,, i did notice you did not add the word *divorce* to your title.. I would hate to pass this one up.... did get a good read on your couplet, and i sure loved it.. Try (( Divorce DISSOLUTION! )) still it is up to you if you want to add it to your title.. Enjoyed and have yourself a wonderful day,, and you got all 3 forms perfect,..p.d.
