Wendy Watson Poet Rhyme

The Garlands of Life

She skips barefoot through silken grass
A daisy garland in her hair,
But childhood moments swiftly pass
And happiness is sought elsewhere.

A teenager so full of fun
Clothed modestly in simple dress
Yet rich in character she grows
Desiring that her life will bless.
                                 
How gracefully she walks the aisle
Her hair adorned with floral crown
And feet raised high in satin shoes
Beneath her flowing bridal gown.

Line Gauthier May 25, 2019 at 8:39 AM Totally delightful, Wendy. A FAVE for me. Wendy Watson June 9, 2019 at 1:21 PM Thank you so much,Line. I wonder if you have a daughter and it brought back memories?!

Winged Warrior May 25, 2019 at 8:11 AM Congrats!!! on your Honorable Mention my friend, Wendy...^WW^ Wendy Watson June 9, 2019 at 1:20 PM Thank you WW. Oh that crafty passing of time!

Julia Ward May 25, 2019 at 5:18 AM Pretty, but you need to tie the two stanzas in by having a different fifth line. There is too much of a jump between childhood and the marriage day. Wendy Watson May 25, 2019 at 6:20 AM Thanks for your comment and the honorable mention, Julia. This was conceived as the flashback thoughts of a Mother on her daughter's wedding day so the two rolled into one in my mind. I appreciate what you mean though.
