The Rise and Fall of Serendipity

One
Tuesday,
just the same
as another,
serendipity 
accidentally made
a sweet scene when girl met boy, 
it was cliche but love blossomed
leading to the day when the wedding
bell rang true, then blue as years dragged on,
familiar patterns filtered in
and life then became routine,
then dull, then arguments
replaced romantic 
words with divorce
now ending
happy 
tale.

Valsa George March 7, 2026 at 5:08 AM This is the mischief time does to many a marriage. Be careful. Never let serendipity wane out. Great nonet. Chetta Achara March 7, 2026 at 6:20 AM Thank you.

Paula Goldsmith March 6, 2026 at 8:16 AM I enjoyed reading your wonderful "The Rise and Fall of Serendipity" write/great picture. Many of my friends have replaced romantic words for divorce. Not a happy ending to the tale. Their life did go on and they did find happiness again. Have a blessed day writing away............ Chetta Achara March 6, 2026 at 10:57 AM Thank you.
