Dying Marriage

they speak in echoes
tightening strands of sorrow
hang the rings of gold

The line, "hang the rings of gold" works wonderfully in your poem. Julia, xx

Thanks, Julia, I think that, given it's simplicity and economy, Senryu can be very effective. Nice of you to blow the dust off this one. Viv x

Viv, had a newlywed couple ask me what was the secret to marriage at about 1:00 this morning. I told them there is no secret, marriage is not magic, I work at Disney World. Being honest and open has worked pretty well for me.

So true. I am lucky--my wife still puts up with my crazy habits.

What a powerful write. You worded things so well. No one said marriage would be easy....It takes commitment...it takes sacrifice. For some...the price is too high. Thanks for your visits to my work. Much appreciated.
