DIVORCE

Dwelling in twisted tulips of fate, I'm etching life's blackened stars beneath Vehement veil of thunderstruck twilight, for, Obsidian tornados have crushed affectionate shorelines. Remorseful roses now unfurl like love's last perfume and Crestfallen silence nestles in eclipsed eden, sighing at the End of our poetic lifelines - lost within timeless agony.

Oh my, thank you so much dear Anaya! Indeed, it was a difficult subject to write on especially with feelings, because I'm 18 and it was quite complex to dive in this inexperienced emotion~ but, I'm so glad that you enjoyed reading this, means a lot to me :)

You write as if you have years of experience in this world. You can think and express yourself only in poetic language. Your comments too are poetry. Felicity of expressions is your forte. At this young age, if you can write so well, when you reach my age where you will be !!"Obsidian tornados have crushed affectionate shorelines." This single line is enough to illustrate how the vessel of life got shattered on the rocks by the sweeping tornadoes and how the life fell into crestfallen silence. Wonderful Hiya....

A well written acrostic Hiya, covering what was once a taboo subject. I always feel sorry when there are children involved. But if a relationship is toxic and abusive sometimes it's the only way forward. Tom

This is such an excellent acrostic on a difficult to execute topic 'Divorce', and I feel you are too young to write about it, still you have done a great job here and that is real talent. Best wishes and hugs dear Hiya...~ Ani

Very honest and feeling... I think it's such a hard topic to speak, especially, write about. You did so well.

A soothing harmonic poetic whisper but alas be it a poignant claim. Ne'ertheless, a poetess etched a beauty. I'm charmed, Hiya, for this defines you. Aloha, William

Remorseful roses now unfurl like love's last perfume and Crestfallen silence nestles in eclipsed eden, sighing at the End of our poetic lifelines - lost within timeless agony---Simply awesome! Yet another FAVE for your splendid descriptions, simile, and metaphors.

Dear Hiya, an incredibly touching, sensitive, and expressive poem, it thrives splendidly in originality. Excellent word choice for your acrostic, Hiya. Your encapsulation is impeccable, and that last line is profound: poetry and divorce are both akin to an author permanently abandoning his quill. Your linguistic proficiency is at once delicate and profound. BOL with the contest.

I especially like the last line. Divorce is horrible for sure and it can be deadly. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. If this one is for a contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. your visits to my pages add a special touch. Sara K

Great selection of words for you acrostic dear Hiya.. You have summed it up so well and that list line is so profound.. poetry and divorce are like a writer leaving his pen forever... but there are always others pens.. right? Good luck in the contest.

Oh haha your perspective is profound too, well, thank you so much for your beautiful words dear Silent One, so kind of you.. It was quite a delicate subject & kinda different for me, to write on.. So, I'm really grateful for ur feedback :)

What I like about this Acrostic piece is that it doesn’t feel like one. This is so well articulated and the poetic I imagery is both beautiful and sad. I expect this will do well in the contest.

I'll bet no one has written something this creative about such a sad event. Poetic lifelines list, forever separated. Very nice

Ah your acrostic is way better than mine and you have never experienced or seen divorce close up. This is beyond profound and flows very well too. Theres so many lines that stood out for me like “ thunderstruck twilight” i use that alot too in poems.. and u and i always think alike. “ Obsidian tornados have crushed affectionate shorelines. “ great symbolism and metaphors throughout. “ Remorseful roses now unfurl like love's last perfume and” i just love that!!! And those last two lines are so
