Jan Allison Poet Terza Rima

Notes About The Poem

Tattered Wedding Dress

Eve’s wedding dress is dirty and tattered;  
She’d had fun at her divorce paint party,      
With bright paint it’s now messy and splattered! 

Her ex husband has run off with Marti, 
(At one time she had been Eve’s closest friend) 
Eve’s now renounced her old surname McCarty.

In the future her broken heart may mend;  
She’s determined to get on with her life - 
Her lovely neighbors have been a godsend!

Eve is saddened she’s no longer a wife,
But she’s well rid of the marital strife!

Paul Callus August 18, 2017 at 10:55 AM A most creative way to celebrate divorce!! Quite therapeutic, too:) When a marriage fails completely it's best to move on.

Russell Sivey August 17, 2017 at 4:54 PM This is fabulous Jan, I surely loved reading this illustrious poem this afternoon! You have delighted me by your cleverness of having a divorce paint party! What a special piece, Great Work!! Jan Allison August 17, 2017 at 6:13 PM I've read several articles of women trashing their wedding dresses when they get divorced and that was the inspiration for the poem:-) hugs jan xx

Lin Lane August 17, 2017 at 4:40 PM At least she got to wear the dress more than once. I shouldn't make light of divorce, but you've written a great Terza Rima. Jan Allison August 17, 2017 at 6:14 PM I wish I'd thought of that about wearing the dress twice i could have ended the poem with that!:-) hugs jan xx
