Marriage-Wreck

Write to me about marriage. The ups, the downs. Your fights, your joys. Write to me about your experiences or your thoughts about how it is worth it, or further convince me it is not.

rules:
no sticky keys
check grammar
please take it seriously

Make me feel your emotion through your writing. Be descriptive and vivid with your pain and/or joys. Both erotica and swearing are allowed as long as they are trivial into getting the point of your poem across.

Just in case you are wondering about my thoughts about marriage and why I decided to do this contest please read: http://allpoetry.com/poem/4725007

  • Final notes:
    I am sure you have all heard of this before, but I truly wanted to give you all gold. You all put so much into these writes. From painful and dark, to loving and comic, it took a lot for some of you to place your raw emotions into such heartfelt writes. I truly felt your emotions with your experiences, images and details. Thank you all for entering and congrats to you all!

    I apologize for the delay, but I wanted to have my mind clear and sharp in order to judge these because i knew everyone was going to put in things that really did affect their lives... and I couldn't possibly give you all HMs! Thanks again! ♥
