-Nice image and
presentation, Sanku.
-You wrote a good poem
with a good topic.
-The imagery depicts
a couple who have
lost their way in their marriage.
-As you say in your notes,
many stay in the marriage
because of the children, but
I think the must pick up on things, too.
-A good job with this.

Getting through life alone is like trying to dance with one leg. Balance in life is balance of relationships. There is no independence for any life form, only individuality...John

Parting with someone you loved with all your heart is agonizing. Physical or mental. Sometimes.separation is not the end of love, it creates love. Both parties have to strive hard to make the marriage work. I liked your rather sad poem. Thanks for sharing!

This was very cool and witty. Great message. Alas, too many couples stay together for the sake of their children. Love, if there ever was one, romance and feelings are long gone. A sad state of affairs indeed. But this is life.

Great imagery and visuals and I love your artwork.

I liked your senryu.

I can kinda understand why they would fake it for the kids but kinda wish they wouldn't. Kids deserve the truth, as hard as it may be and people/parents deserve to be happy do they not living a lie is... living a lie: )) a thought provoking little poem friend.

Very apt choice of image to accompany your thoughtful words. Unfortunately this is the sad reality for many relationships. You have expressed well the emotional and physical disconnect. Best wishes for hour entry.

Nice senryu. I see these emotionally estranged couples and want to weep.
So hard to role play for the sake of the children! We get the one chance at life. "Settling" seems so fruitless!

    But it is a sacrifice they make for the children
reply by karenina on 05-Oct-2021
    I habe yet to see children unaffected. The sense the tension... Normal doesn't exist. Better an honest break than a deceitful role play, on my opinion.

This work has reached the exceptional level

There is a disconnect between these two that you have managed to hone in on and the stark truth in these words send a shiver down my spine as you nailed this one to the wall, much enjoyed, love Dolly x
