Honeyed

The fresh scent of April is in the air;
a garden wedding and their sweet smiles bloom.
The sun drops honey from the sky so fair.
Soon to come is their honeymoon.

Six nights as warm as soft cashmere now loom
for the newlyweds, who are prepared to share
their bliss forevermore. The bride and groom
with fervent honeyed words their love declare.

Sweet poem! Love is in the air this winter. Saw a concert at Carnagie Hall last night - 180 years of Central Synagogue - the rabbi - who is a Korean woman - sang Over the Rainbow! Please comment on my latest! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

I wonder if the honeymooners would do me a favor by telling the truth about their first honeyed words in bed? ...April is the cruelest month at least for the easterners. Love Andie.
