John Michaels Poet Footle

Fabulous Fun Footles - Nuptials

On time
Sublime

My beau
Hel-lo!

Guests smile
No guile

Church hall
Too small

Tikes play
Then sway

So hot
Must stop

Slow-mo
I know

Kid hurls*
Hits girls

Bride’s dress
A mess

Aaww, hell
The smell!

Wiped down
Don’t frown

Do you...?
I do!

---------------------------
* hurls = vomits

Elizabeth Kinch March 21, 2017 at 7:58 AM Loved this wedding day footle. Good luck in the contest. John Michaels March 25, 2017 at 7:59 AM Thanks so much. Good luck to you, too!

Lisa Ricci March 21, 2017 at 3:29 AM Morning John. This is the second time I've seen this format. Is it new? So glad the both of you said "I do" Now about that dress..... and the church hall being too small.... not good (ha ha) Good luck with the contest and this form as well. John Michaels March 25, 2017 at 8:01 AM It's certainly new to me. They're a lot of fun; you should give them a try! Don't worry, this was all plucked from the recesses of my imagination, so no dresses were harmed in the making of this poem!

Andrea Dietrich March 20, 2017 at 6:58 PM GREAT footle story, John. Very well done. John Michaels March 25, 2017 at 8:04 AM Thanks, Andrea. Another new form for me to try out!!

Tanya Edwards March 20, 2017 at 4:50 PM All the stress that people put on themselves to have the "perfect" wedding- and you've captured the fact that the "I do's" are the most important feature of it all :), very nicely done John Michaels March 20, 2017 at 4:52 PM Thank you for your kind comments! All the best!
