Notes About The Poem

5/5/2025 for Divorced Poetry Contest sponsored by Kai Michael Neumann

Untreasured Memories

What could be more pleasurable than this?
I muse to myself as I reminisce,
when each limb was pulled by a diff'rent horse, 
that magic time when I went through divorce.
I am roused from protective amnesia,
my heart yanked out without anesthesia.  
Mona Lisa, a destroyed work of art,
I picked up my brush for a brand new start. 
I wager it is somewhat premature 
to say I'm philosophical and mature,
but I don't wallow in desolate defeat - 
with better lives now, I remain upbeat. 
We can happily say we lived through hell,
and rich lawyers are overjoyed as well.
