Written Jan 5 2026 for contest sponsored by Constance LaFrance but withdrawn
Shipwrecked on the island of love A castaway alone with sea gulls Stood up at the alter by handsome groom Whose heart did falter blame blood moon Not only a pregnant pause she is late Refusing to abort swelling more each day Sad is a fruit she bites a bitter taste Glad to look forward to a new babe She never gave up she was destined To marry a soldier despite her sin Being a mom before she wed another The next Prince Charming my grandfather
