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! T form Contest Sponsored by Broken Wings Checked with rhymezone and how many syllables 08-17-17

A most creative way to celebrate divorce!! Quite therapeutic, too:) When a marriage fails completely it's best to move on. Hugs // paul

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

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.
