    Description:
       Saw an old friend recently and couldn't believe at how much she'd aged. Guess that's what a really bad marriage can do.

    Here,
    Here is a new cream you can try
    It guaranteed to take off years in days.
    Too bad it can't take him off.
    Nothing can, you know

    But we can try to cover up the ravages
    The marks he left behind;
    At least those on your face.
    The ones on your soul,
    They're permanent.

    The best thing since Botox
    It will erase the stress lines
    Breath new life into the tired spirit.
    Here.
    Here's a new cream you can try
    It's called Divorce.

      I've survived two divorces, and there's an old saying "a good divorce beats a bad marriage anytime"! Nice write, lovely lady!

      i don't know jan.

    i am not used to you not having at least one rhyme in there somewhere.

    just the manner in which this is put together is anarchic and worrisome.

    which is exactly how it should be and as a piece of advice it is more provocative than constructive but then, i daresay you will be aware of that too...

    for what it's worth i quite like it when you get a bee up your ar5e and the typos and the grammar police misty meaners are examples of urgency rather than lack of care.

    take it easy over there.

    hasta,

    k

      This is powerful! The ending hits you in the face with its logic. The hard part will be to get her to open the jar.

    Suggestions: Basically, trying to make this more direct in some small ways.

    S1 - L2 Change "you can" to "to." L3 Drop "It" Change "take off" to "remove." Change "in days" to "from your appearance." L4 Change
    take him off" to "remove him."

    S2 - L1 Drop "try to." L2 Change "behind" to "on your face" (Replace L3 with L4) L5 Change "They're" to "are."

    S3 - L2 Drop "lines." L3 Change "the" to "your." (Add a line break)

    S4 - L2 (S3-L5) Change "you can" to "to." (Add a line break so that your last line stands alone.

    Simple stuff really, that will make this more forward, more direct.

      Ouch. I like this. It is very straightforward and to the point. I like the clever wording, and the fact that the words were not traded for more flowery alternatives. DIVORCE. Pops out, gives real emphasis. Good write. Upsetting topic, but it was handled well.
