Sue made her bouquet from cottage garden flowers To find matching blooms took her several hours There were nine pretty roses in a shade of pale gold Such a delicate fragrance they’re a joy to behold Lilac and lemon freesias looked so bright and gay They’d bring subtle colour to her pretty bouquet Baby’s Breath added a touch of creamy white Those tiny flowers are such a charming sight Sue looked radiant with a bright beaming smile And held her bouquet as she went down the aisle Writing Challenge, October- Flower or Flowers- Poetry Contest Sponsored by Dear Heart- Wiishkobe Ode 10/22/19

Nothing like floral bouquets in tandem with a beaming bride! Nicely penned, Jan! Thanks especially for these images, as my daughter is remarrying early next month. May we all know only of happy occasions! Warmest wishes, Gershon
