Diane Locksley Poet Limerick

Divorce and Remorse

Two hearts became one

Now they follow different paths –
 
   Divorce with remorse



He complained constantly of my cooking

Café reservations always booking

   Said I drove him insane

   But boy did he complain

When I left for someone better looking



The complaining has stopped, but the house is so quiet

So I pick up the phone, invite him for a riot



Haiku, limerick and couplet for the Divorce Club contest
