The Writers' Circle

This poem is a shining example of your poetic/artistic talent, Dom. A very impressive creative work of art. The storyline is delivered in such poignant phraseology, excellently narrated to the reader. You create a stunning picture, through excellent word choice, of how life is - to live with someone who does not reciprocate the pure love which their partner has for them, who really lives under the false pretence of loving them, when in fact, the only person they love in the relationship is themselves. One of the people in the poem, married for all the wrong reasons ie: to get off the shelf, so sadly, the marriage was a 'party game', never meant to last. The pure love of the other partner is seen in the final verse, which indicates that though life was Hell on earth, the partner still loved her, still wanted her to stay in spite of her cruelty to him. With no regard for his feelings, with no love in her heart for him - she leaves - doing him a huge favour and leaving him free to live and love again. One outstanding line for me was 'I wonder - will you ever divorce yourself'? - What a little gem, Dom! I love the satin smooth flow to the poem and the perfect scansion, rhythm and rhyme. The poem is crafted with flair and talent and expressed very potently. Kudos on a superb write, Dom - WELL deserved! I so enjoyed reading and I THANK YOU for sharing this excellently crafted poem with me. Blessings & HUGS always.....
