(Acrostic)

 

Roses of red, proclaimed your

Enduring love, but now, you want to be

Divorced- and I am left, remembering the thorns.

Virginia:

I really like this!!! The colors are fabulous together and give your lines a real 'punch'. This is a very, very well-done acrostic. You have an excellent flair for writing these.

Virginia, very well done. I love the presentation. If this is from real life, I hope you are ok now.

Virginia, THis was showing at the bottom of a single word challenge I did and I was trying to tap into the group's listed articles. This is wonderful, even though it is horribly sad. I am so glad I have read it. It is really, very, very good. I hope you are doing better if this really happened.
