Jan Allison Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Sunflowers

She’s traditionally late on her wedding day
Uncle Arnold is waiting to give her away
Neil her groom paces, what’s the delay ...
Florist forgot Faye’s bridesmaid's bouquet!
Look, Neil she’s here, we hear the Vicar say
Organist starts, as the bride’s on her way
Wedding March is the music they play
Everyone looks to the church doorway
Romantic wedding for Neil and Faye
Service soon over, time for the buffet!
