Marriage

Marriage

                  Liking nurtured friendship.
                 Slowly began courtship.
                Neighbors started gossip
                                               Two young hearts chose same goals.

        In mind was sown love-seed
       stem of passion to yield.
      Root of emotion pricked
                                       two soft delicate souls.
   
      Both approached with courage.
      They wanted to arrange
       the desired marriage.
                                          So joy dances and rolls.

          ‘Whether you hesitate
           to refuse or accept
            marriage, you will regret.’
                                       ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ play same roles.

     6 syllable counts in each line.
      At least two stanzas.
      Three consecutive lines to rhyme.
      Fourth line of each stanza will rhyme.
