It’s the day after Valentine’s and all is fine
The chocolates are eaten and they’ve drank the wine.
The house is quiet there is no one in
Unlike yesterday’s unholy din.
The love had lasted an hour or two
Then the wine got them talking truths as you do
Tempers got fraught and they came to blows
He broke the plates and she cut up his clothes.
She stormed out and he locked the door.
She drove the car through the window to settle the score.
The lawn is in a real mess
Covered in tyre marks and signs of distress.
The bricky and glazer are rubbing their hands
There’s plenty of work for them which is just grand.
This evening he will be home bearing flowers
There might just be peace for a couple of hours.

This I found a little comical. The image I got in my head was entertaining. I don’t know if that was your intent but that is how I took it. It was great writing though.

I did write it with humour in mind , to get over a serious point. I am so glad you enjoyed it 💜💜

I’m so glad you shared this. It helps bring humor to an otherwise mite serious topic.

Yes very true on a sixpence. 😖

Sad but all to often true. Life isn’t always rosy. Gets you thinking….

Yes it does, I tried to put some humour in but the message is a serious one 💜

Sometimes my thoughts tend to go towards serious too. It’s the light and the dark in me.

Hi Marje we’ve said this before we does and we do seem to tend towards our dark side when writing 💜💜

Great poem. The humour delivers a serious message and so apt about the fleeting love of Valentine’s Day which isn’t what the rest of the year is about. More sustainability required.
Well done and thanks for sharing.
