Richard Lamoureux Poet Terzanelle

Christmas Wedding

She walks down snow covered path to the church
Christmas approaches she'll receive her gift
She reaches for the door made of clear birch

Stomping her feet she gives her skirt a lift
Entering she takes a look around
Christmas approaches she'll receive her gift

The sanctuary quiet not a sound
She imagines all the happy faces
Entering and taking a look around

It would be warmer in other places
Yet it is magical at Christmas time
She imagines all the happy faces

It's kind of funny that both their names rhyme
His name is Chris, she's always been called Miss
It seems more magical at Christmas time

In less than a week her husband she'll kiss
His name is Chris, she's always been called Miss
Behind her she closes door made of birch
Down snow covered path away from the church

Written November 12th, 2013
For Shadow's Christmas wedding contest.

Monterey Sirak November 13, 2013 at 8:21 AM I enjoyed this one. Romantic images abound. My grandparents were married on Christmas Eve and grandma always said she couldn't imagine a better time to say I do. Richard Lamoureux November 13, 2013 at 8:29 AM How sweet! We married in May and that time was perfect as well.

Kelly Deschler November 12, 2013 at 6:49 PM The imagery in this poem is just wonderful! I really enjoyed the read. A beautifully written poem, Richard. I wish you the best of luck in the contest!...Thank you for the kind congrats on my poem, once again! Richard Lamoureux November 12, 2013 at 7:03 PM Thanks so much Kelly.

Tim Ryerson November 12, 2013 at 5:43 PM Beautifully done Richard...Call my crazy, but I get a sad feeling from this gem of yours, as if she is single and fantasizing or maybe even jilted? Regardless, this is a VERY well written piece and should place high in Shadow's contest - Tim Richard Lamoureux November 12, 2013 at 5:50 PM Thanks Tim I like your thought although that was not my intention.

Andrea Dietrich November 12, 2013 at 4:31 PM what a lovely way to do a terzanelle. You are so good with this form!! Richard Lamoureux November 12, 2013 at 10:07 PM Thanks Andrea, you are kind.

Cecilia Macfarlane November 12, 2013 at 10:47 AM Rick....you captured the magic of X'mas and the magic of love in this wonderful and sweet write. Hugs Richard Lamoureux November 12, 2013 at 10:50 AM Thanks Cecilia. Hugs back.

Eileen Manassian November 12, 2013 at 10:43 AM Lovely, Richard....a terzanelle....What are the chances??? Wedding at Christmas is so romantic....thanks for the visits today...Wish my poems were higher up on the list, but thanks for noticing.... Richard Lamoureux November 12, 2013 at 1:40 PM Even better, I think the most I ever had was 5. Eileen Manassian November 12, 2013 at 12:17 PM They are SIX, but who's counting, right? ;) Richard....you always have poems there. In fact, I doubled checked now to see if what you said could possibly be true cause I always see your name everywhere! ;) Well, something must be wrong with the world....I'm sure Lamoureux will be coming up time and again soon! :) Maybe a little more romance??? ;) Richard Lamoureux November 12, 2013 at 10:52 AM I only have one on the list currently so from my perspective four is pretty impressive.
