D ivided - feelings, kids and the lesser things.
I nk blots of dragons and broken mirrors.
V acant walls and chairs. 
O bituary for two on display.
R agtag thoughts to sort through.
C hampioning life’s surreality.
E ddying for a time, then healing.

Jerry Brotherton November 21, 2023 at 3:22 PM A great acrostic my friend. Filled with emotion. I have not (knock on wood) experienced divorce firsthand and your fantastic use of imagery tells me that I do not wish to. Good luck on the contest, my friend. Kim Rodrigues November 21, 2023 at 6:03 PM That is true. Thank you, Jerry!

Sara Kendrick November 21, 2023 at 9:30 AM Divorce is very much like a death, same feelings are generated. It is so sad for all concerned, but sometimes safety or sanity come first. Thanks for sharing this contest entry with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K Kim Rodrigues November 21, 2023 at 12:09 PM Thank you, Sara!
