Love in Hexasyllables XLII: Breaking Up For Dummies

[aduvingion]

Dear [name of ex-to-be],
There is no easy way
to break the news to you,
[blundered attempt at tact].
I just want you to know
[lame excuse or reason],
but I really am
[empty apology]
I will always treasure
[Hallmark card memories],
and I hope we can

hehehe I like this! There's a line with 5 syll's, though.

Oh, after a long period of vacillation on the matter, and consulting Merriam Webster online, I've decided to consistently scan 'really' as trisyllabic in my own writing, although even I tend to say 'real-ly' instead of 're-al-ly' most of the time.

... Really. Keke. I didn't know, thanks!

[aduvingion]

Yup. I don't know the technical explanation for it, but I think it's something to do with the schwa. Or something. Oh well...

This pleases me immensely.

I certainly hope DM thinks likewise. This is the epistolary poem, obviously.
