'divorce Society'

~Haiku~

your love flew away 
like a migrating bird
and never came back...

~Limerick~

Your lack of love pushed me to the floor
I couldn’t take it anymore
I signed on the dotted line
You were no longer mine
Why don’t you just hit the door?

~Couplet~

We entered into a partnership
Six months down the line you decided to jump ship


7th place

Excellent, Wilma! Witty and to the point. Marriages here often last only a few months before someone "jumps ship." And if he pushed you to the floor, shove him out the door! Best wishes in the contest with this great series. Love, Carolyn
