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.

Hiya Sharma Date: 12/12/2023 5:33:00 AM 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.. Login to Reply Karen Jones Date: 12/14/2023 9:37:00 AM Hiya that is so kind of you to say. Thanks!

Sotto Poet Date: 12/11/2023 12:26:00 PM 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. Login to Reply

Tom Cunningham Date: 12/11/2023 8:08:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Karen Jones Date: 12/11/2023 8:33:00 AM I so agree Tom and thanks.
