Bryn Strudwick Poet Rhyme

In Front of God

IN FRONT OF GOD

You stood in church and said your vows
In front of God.
You would stay faithful all our days.
So it is odd
I think that, only six months on,
You’d walk away.
Was it my fault; was I lacking?
You did not say.
You said it was a man from long ago,
A boy from school.
A thing you could not fight against.
Oh what a fool,
To think I had you all my days

Sam Kauffman July 27, 2020 at 9:49 AM Such a sad write, Bryn but illustrates so clearly the lack of understanding about commitment in our age. Congratulations!

Emile Pinet July 27, 2020 at 7:33 AM Congratulations Bryn! Your poem earned a distinguished place in my contest, due to the technical demands of this form it was a difficult contest to both enter and judge, but I loved the emotion you wove into your poem. Very well done my friend, Emile.
