Lamentation Number Thirty Six

A Sundered Haiku 


Marriage to divorce,
from triumph to disaster -
win-win for lawyers.

Always good to see Divorce triumphing over the disaster of Love gone wonky, so here is an illustration of the idea in response to the Poets and Storytellers weekly prompt.

  1. Well, to take your comment first (or the last bit of it anyway) – it's because some of us get relentlessly scammed by both advertisers and nut jobs that we reluctantly moderate the comments coming in, so that our real readers don't have to wade through that stuff or face the risk of being taken in by it.

    Also – a deadly senryu in response to the prompt! And a deliciously cynical note overturning the expected interpretation. Thank you.

  3. Wonderful. Your cynicism is boundless. How about 'shysters' for 'lawyers' in the last line of the haiku?

I welcome your comments, the gloomier the better. I don't think there's much hope, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in what you have to say. If you expect me to approve your comment before it appears, you're about to be disappointed. Never have understood why some hypersensitive bloggers need to see what others say before they allow the comment. Poor, sensitive wee souls.
