Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

An Arranged Marriage

Tingling with excitement
  the big day had arrived
Goosebumps on her arms
  anticipating his charms

But he’d changed his mind
  another he’d find
Flowed her jilted tears 
  ~ she'd never shift gears

Valsa George April 22, 2022 at 9:54 PM So sad ..... ! In our country, it will be a surprise for you to know that most of the marriages are arranged with or without knowing each other directly! Gershon Wolf April 23, 2022 at 7:55 PM My 2nd marriage was arranged, but I met my bride-to-be a few times before the wedding. So far, so good. 27 years this summer...

Caren Krutsinger April 22, 2022 at 2:21 AM She was a fool. I had to say it. Gershon Wolf April 23, 2022 at 7:55 PM Maybe she's 'The Fool on the Hill.' ~ Paul McCartney

Kim Rodrigues April 21, 2022 at 5:20 AM Oh my! So awful! The pain… Gershon Wolf April 21, 2022 at 12:44 PM I guess this one could be retitled: 'The Ecstasy and the Agony,' eh?! Thanks, Kim. :)

Sara Kendrick April 21, 2022 at 4:22 AM Sad one for the bride to be, but someday she might find someone who would be proud to have her as his wife. I enjoyed reading this one today. Sara Gershon Wolf April 21, 2022 at 12:47 PM I sincerely hope that the jilted bride finds happiness too, Sara. 'It ain't easy,' as they say in my neck of the woods...
