Jan Allison Poet Rispetto

Notes About The Poem

Love Is Actually Failing

At first they were in love, but soon he preferred
those sexy curves of his cute blonde employer
The divorce rate’s soaring I recently heard -
see forlorn people stand in the court foyer.
Love is actually a four-letter word,
the real winner of it all is their lawyer!
I think it’s so sad when a romance is dead…
He shouldn’t have slept in another girl’s bed!

Love is actually contest

Russell Sivey July 31, 2017 at 7:28 PM This is a sad truth in today's age my friend! I'm so glad that I have love that will not end with my wife! That seems to be a rare thing anymore! And yes, the lawyers are the only winners here, and that is a sad truth! I really enjoyed reading your fantastic poem here Jan! What a tremendous piece, Great Work!! Jan Allison July 31, 2017 at 7:33 PM Thanks Russell its so easy to give up at the first hurdle, people need to work at a relationship and its not all plain sailing -I've been married for 26 years and we have a bond that will never be broken:-) hugs jan xx

Tim Smith July 31, 2017 at 5:04 PM The sanctity of marriage has been lost Jan. It is a now generation. If something isn't working to your liking discard it and get a new one. Jan Allison July 31, 2017 at 5:15 PM It is a throw away society we live in Tim and sadly that applies to marriage too:-( hugs jan x
