Divorce

Divided heart that was once one Is so tragic for daughter and son Violet voices saying we love you still Of course divorce is no teal thrill Red eyes cry for yellow yesterday Coming to understand parting ways Everyone's heart to mend by fuschia faith.

I have a daughter and a brother who had divorces. You see it through different perspectives and the children. Violet voices…teal thrill…red eyes…fuschia faith… Congratulations on your impressive win, Karen!

You've said it so evocatively in a very heartfelt way. This is such a delicate topic which required so much attention and emotions in the wordplay and you've absolutely conquered it well! "Violet voices saying we love you still", "Red eyes cry" Those aching feelings can be felt deep within and it's truly very difficult for the children too.. Best of luck to you for the contest, dear Karen, beautiful acrostic..

Well composed Acrosrtic, Karen. Divorce is always a saddening prospect, but if the union is undesirable, it can be the only feasible means to move ahead at times. However, it is tragic once children are implicated.

Sad when it comes to that but sometimes it's the best way forward if the relationship is toxic. But it's a shame when kids are involved. Good luck in the contest Tom
