Divorce

He
was told
on a cold
rain weary day.
She leaves stories untold
about love now faded away.
They are no longer a couple today.
Like love songs that are sung in notes slightly off key,
true love soured; all the while both went astray.
Both did cause their union's decay.
They should not have been bold,
I always say.
Bands of gold
Are sold.
Free.

Form: Diatelle


Explanation of form:

The Diatelle is a fun, syllable counting form like the etheree with a twist.  The syllable structure of
the diatelle is as follows: 1/2/3/4/6/8/10/12/10/8/6/4/3/2/1, but unlike an ethere, has a set rhyme
pattern of abbcbccaccbcbba.  This poetry form may be written on any subject matter and looks
best center aligned in a diamond shape.

The Diatelle form was created by Bradley Vrooman.
