Notes About The Poem

A poem creative by the weaving of the word "DIVORCE" into a dissection of what went wrong in driving home a honest emotional reflecting ending an immature relationship maturely. I written this with the intent to submt for PS contest poem subject divorce.

 

Letters Of Divorce

With these rings, we said, "I do,"
Never planned to play the fool.
Too young to grasp loves weight,
Too blind to heed its rules.
We were D—drifting, never devoted.
We were I—insensible, inconsiderate.
We broke our Vows, splintered trust.
We were O—reckless, outrageous.
We were R—tangled, bitter root.
We were C—careless, never committed.
We were E—estranged, unraveling fast.
A word we swore would never be ours
became the silent sentence:
Divorce.
Too immature for love’s responsibility,
we fled into goodbye.

Paula Goldsmith May 18, 2025 at 12:38 PM A powerful "Letters Of Divorce" write. So sad when this happens. Most of my friends have been here. "Good Luck" Have a blessed day writing away............. James Chapman May 20, 2025 at 8:34 AM t Thank you, Paula for reading and commenting! Yes, divorce is very sad especially when kids become innocently involved. I like to think a couple having early awareness of their immaturity for marriage but mature enough to divorce.
