Cool Metaphor! I like it. Divorce --never experienced it. but i've experienced many breakups after long relationships. They are explosive, and involve healing and fragile egos. Similar Me thinks.
Well done.

Comment from sara-beth
I really like this, it is the second divorce related writing I have read today,.....causing me to consider my own childhood. You know, I think it took me years before I even admitted that I had issues about my parent's divorce, so you're right, ....it is a very long healing process.

Sometimes it does take a long time for people to admit it, because along the way, we just do what we have to do and try very hard not to dwell on the bad. But, our experiences do make up who we are. And hopefully, we can become all the stronger, with the good and the not-so-good. Thank you very much for your generous review and your comments. I'm glad you liked my work. Much appreciated and with regards, Sue

Evil Eddie did a number on your poem. Your poem is well written with a good cadence making for a smooth read. There is good imagery and descriptive scheme.

Hello sixteezkid,
I enjoyed this poem very much and I am sure that many can relate to this modern-day topic. This poem reads and flows well and I have no suggestion for improvement. I enjoyed your Author's note ... good analogy. Keep writing.
Regards, LateBloomer

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of explaining my work, but most here like to know where you're coming from. Some say it's not explained enough! Anyway, I put up my paintings on fanart also and people just want that "blurb". Thanks for your great review and all your comments. Most appreciated!! Sue
Comment from mermaids
I like your analogy of divorce and nuclear impact. A divorce can feel like a nuclear explosion, This writing expresses the difficulty of coping with divorce and the time it takes to heal.

Comment from jclark
Nicely done. As a mother of 4 (now all grown) who survived divorce, I think you captured the essence of pain, time and healing nicely. Cleverly done and points well made.
Kindly,
Judy

Comment from Judian James
A while back I wrote a piece called "Life After Divorce" that was a very different approach but with the same impact and experience. The next stage is rebirth! Well done. There seems to be a spacing issue on one of your lines. I think it jumped up a line by mistake! Your last verse is tender and hopeful. excellent

Yeah, I've emailed the administrator a few times about my poems having weird spacings. He said it was all fixed as of yesterday. Thanks for letting me know. So glad you liked this work. Very much appreciated! With regards, Sue

Stuart, it is very unfortunate, indeed. I fear that too many people feel that divorce is an "easy" option. And that perhaps the grass is greener on the other side. A solid family unit is the most important thing in the world.
Thank you very much for your most generous review and comments. Most sincerely, Sue
