[The inspiration for my poem 'Maladjusted']
________________________
 

 

 

Detente dissolves as so often before Insults and slurs echo each slamming door Vile accusations by both man and wife One bellows, “ You’re a complete waste of life.” Rants - baritone, facing soprano tears Children sat upstairs with hands over ears Each sees ‘divorce’ as the least of their fears

Pretty darn well captured here, Terry. Nothing like divorce to get the emotions churning.
