The Wedding Gift

The ceremony was almost over As they began to cut the cake A wedding made of fairy tales What a lovely couple they make It's time for the bride and groom To have their wedding dance The bride was so enchanted The groom in a love sick trance The bride dressed in solid white Someting borrowed, something blue Showered with many wedding gifts They decided to open a few First they opened some crystal And then some silverware Then a gift for their honeymoon Some sexy underwear Then the groom picked up a box They thought was surely a clock He pulled the ribbon, the bomb went off It felt like an aftershock A jealous lover from her past With revenge, inside his head Sent the gift, a final goodbye As the bride and groom lay dead They found him three days later At the bottom of the lake A wedding made of fairytales Has now become a wake

Wow, I wasn't prepared for the twist in this poem, Larry. What a horrific act of vengeance. Very frightening and compelling poem! Love, Carolyn
