Thanks, Terry...
but I certainly hope that you did not find me advocating for the
ex! He and his clan sound like creeps to me! Just because he gets
foliated when she leaves, and she becomes
exfoliated in leaving, doesn't mean that I think it was
fair! It's just what happens sometimes... maybe usually the other way around...
but who's counting? Divorce is a messy thing far too often, and 'fair' is often not the concern of at least one of the parties and frequently not the lawyers' either. How much am I gonna get?
Anyhow, I'm not expecting this one to be in any anthology. I'm just trying to 'perfect' it for my own pleasure.
And yes... I really DO want it to be a legitimate haiku in the process! That is usually my goal for a good faux-ku: to stand on its own as a legit poem... AND to have al bit of a laugh too.
Lightly, Daniel
