Short Divorces Poems

Time
divorces from memory
Moments
refocused sublime

Lost
in sequential detachment
Freeing the message

Arranged marriages by their parents 
Divorces all married for their own causes 
Marriages arranged on their own cases 
Divorces forced by their own parents...

Birthdays, reunions, vacations and hikes.

Weddings, divorces and photos of tykes.

Vids of grandkids on their skateboards and bikes.

These are the things every cyber Friend 'Likes'!...

(for George Ehusani)

When minority
Threatens majority;
Self-solidarity
Divorces reality,
These in a community
Depict dilapidation of the society
And decadence of integrity
Of humanity
In every country!...

Giving in marriage to in laws 
Growing their children 
As spouses their parents 

Returning their spouses 
Back to their parents 
In laws, breeding more children 

Giving in marriage and 
Bringing to divorce now 
A common like business...

Hawai'i is a special place
With fresh water and clean air
Bananas, papaya and coconut grow
Just about everywhere

The people love to sing and dance
And surf the ocean waves
To cook and serve exotic food
That everybody craves

The islands are so distant
Diversity abounds
But there are still divorces
On incompatible grounds . . ....

We are shy women Sheba told me
Close-mouthed
You will never get our stories
I was silent.
She told me about three of her friends.
Revealing many confidences regarding divorces, family deaths, arguments
When her friends discovered this, they told me all about Sheba
Keeping back nothing
Which ones are the shy ones? I wondered.
Having no idea....

Is known for her voice and long hair.

It seems we are always
trying to improve – innovate;
which is not the same as
procreate; though the two
can be combined...resulting
in far fewer divorces – maybe?

The problem is, trying always
gets in the way: it’s simple Physics:
takes energy to do motion – leaving
less energy for each rising degree 
of devotion; till the system failure
a fatal delight –...

Where Hillbilly Jack
Sent his pregnant wife, Jill,
Was not for a pail of well water.
She tramped up that hill
For some swill from a still,
But returned with a new baby daughter.

Jack wasn't amused
When Jill told him the news,
And he yelled, "Whar'n tarnation's mah likker?"
So she crowned him and drowned him
Where they still haven't found him.
Hillbilly divorces are cheaper and quicker....

In Islam
Divorce is the worst thing 
Amongst the halal things.

God has made the custom
Of hilla marriage
With a view to
Discourage divorce.

In my view
If a man divorces his wife
Then wants to marry her again
He should marry another woman
Followed by a divorce
To marry his ex-wife

On the other hand
If a woman divorces her husband
Then wants to marry him again
She should marry another guy
Followed by a divorce
To marry her ex-husband...

Turn on the radio
and you'll hear them playing

Those songs about leaving
and others about staying

Most of them are about problems
like cheating and drinking

Others are about divorces
so what were they thinking

Some are about getting the kids
and some are about the house

Those songs about love
no longer by your spouse

What about who gets the dog
and what about the car

Those songs are the ones
played on a piano and a guitar....
