In a two-door
gold-colored 1973
Ford Maverick with
a black vinyl top,
49 Christmases ago,
In the winter of 1973,
from Chicago, we headed south.
My wife's brother was getting married
on Christmas day, and I was a member of
the wedding party. We were a bit fearless
and young. It was very cold, and we were very
bold. But we really should have known better.
Less than a hundred miles out, the wet and the
cold turned to ice, and the road became slippery.
As I attempted to weather the Icy Road, my stubbornness
quickly manifested itself, but not for long. The weather won.
Young and bold, but we were not foolish and ignorant.
We canceled our plans and spent Christmas with older
friends in the area. It was a different but safe Christmas.
Many Christmases ago, we learned to respect the weather.
My wife and I were gifted One Icy Christmas with a precious
memory, which now hangs on the tree of our hearts.

FANCY-FREE Etheree
Me
in glee
like bird, bee,
sky-gazing tree,
restless waves on sea,
flowers with beauty.
Breeze blows, rain falls, makes merry.
Always running being fancy free.
Marriage arranged by friends and kin, naughty.
Never attending my wedding party.

There was a lady in her late thirties
She loved juicy gossip and kitty parties
Kids were two, an older boy and a younger girl
Naughty devils but the lady’s whole world
The lady was always in makeup from morning to night
Spending money on cosmetics you can imagine the lesser half’s plight
That never deterred her from buying new things in the markets
Every day there would be deliveries in boxes and baskets
One day the lady went to a wedding party with her little daughter
The daughter was so happy and enjoyed the party till the wee hour
While returning, it started to rain heavily and not a soul on the road
There was no cab to take them home nor transport of any mode
It rained and rained until their dresses were fully stained
With patches of dirt that clung, their bodies tired and strained
The waterproof makeup was no match for the heavy downpour
And washed away the grease from face in six minutes and four
The little girl was horrified to see a stranger holding her tiny arm
In a stuttering voice, she asked “Aunty where is my pretty mom?
Why are you holding my arm and where are you taking me?
I want my mom, you witch, don’t think you’ll have me for free”
With that, the little girl began shouting and shrieking
In no time a sizeable crowd gathered from nothing
They enquired about the reason for the commotion
The lady replied quivering with fear and emotion
That the makeup had washed away leading to confusion
The little girl did not recognize her mother due to misconclusion
The heavy rain had washed away all remnants of vanity
And she now stood before her child like a criminal, about to lose her sanity
That day she understood the importance of looking at her original self
And to never wear makeup to confuse the child and fake herself
The little girl, all grown up and beautiful whenever goes down memory lane
She laughs out loud but neither the mother nor she wore makeup again
I never felt a part of things,
Never felt like I belonged,
Never felt like I was wanted,
And I always really longed,
To feel like someone wanted me,
To feel like I fit in,
To be included in the things,
With family and friends.
For reasons that I couldn't know,
I always got pushed back;
Kept quiet and out of their way,
As though somehow I lacked,
Some social graces that perchance,
Might cause some consternation,
If I should come into the room,
And spoil their celibration.
I could have some food, some cake,
Then get out of the way.
Don't mingle with the guests at all,
Sit down if you will stay.
My sister's wedding hurt the most,
That's when I really saw,
I was like a well known guest,
Not part of things at all.
They did not even want me,
In the picture with them all.
I was told to stand aside,
And wait till I was called.
Not part of the wedding party,
I was not allowed,
To be photographed along with them,
In case it might becloud,
My sister's perfect moment,
Immortalized in time,
And I did not fit in with them,
There wasn't room in line;
And so it's been most of my life,
Rejected most by those,
Who should be closest to me,
Even the mate I chose;
So it's no wonder that I built,
A wall for my protection.
When I reached out I got pushed back,
I'm tired of such rejection.

It's very important to consider the feelings of your children.
What happens to us in our formative years often stays with us forever.
The Hedgehog wedding was the talk of Dry Gulch Creek.

Cheering commenced when the bride bent kissed the groom.
Then the couple took a giant leap of faith over a broom.
The bride was a hustler, the groom was a cook so great.
The provided their guests with veggies and rib eye steak.
Heinz 59 said the bride, nothing too good for our guests.
Wedding party agreed the food they served was the best.
You have got yourself a great man, the cousins told the bride.
The groom’s cousins were giving the bridesmaids fancy eye slides.

I can’t read you
Empty the mailbox. I watch it often
Where are you? Where is your letter?
I need warming up from your words
Please, don’t be cruel, words are free
I live in your idyll, imagined your life
In my room, beside me, on my bed
In my favourite walk and woodland
In my favourite cemetery and pub
In my favourite church, at the mass
Smiling, the father, we are the next
The next young couple. Our new life
Roses, beautiful flowers, gold rings
Our kiss, our yeses front of the priest
Congratulations, wonderful celebration
Hugging, loving friends, and relatives
Wedding party, dance, music, champagne
This is the beginning. Finally. Hmm, yes
The beginning. Hmm. What about next?
Live always together. Problems. Plans
Create a family. Children. Financial things
Hmm. Can we do it? Maybe. Yes. Creativity
Altogether, everything is possible. Believe it
Sure. The way is way. But our. Not standard
Can we create? Remember the smily priest?
God
Yes. You remember. He gave us the way. Life
This way is only a path. An unknown highway
You drive? I drive? We drive. No. You are
Do. But who is the controller? And the manager?
Chose. I know. My fate. Chosen by you. Hmm
I am following your will. Okay. No pub, alcohol
Sunday church, Saturday family life. All goes
Everything is okay? I am doing my best. The all
Hmm, years and years. Year to year. Just same
Oh, this life isn’t colourful. Hmm. But valuable
Yes. Life goes on. Hmm. And my dreams go
Away with my life, I cannot love mine. Alone
Hmm. Love alone. Alone. Yes, it is possible
But for long. Time goes. I can not do that
Please, understand me. I need an opinion
The recommendation. Hand. Word. A help
How can I do it? Without the real heart?
No reality? There is no heart. Unloved
I can’t love. How? Hmm. A sinner.
Hmm. The way is God. His love. Helps
I will accept my fate
Just give me a way
I am
Alone
Yes

The invitations have been sent out, and the venue is sublime
A Castle in the country oh how I wish that it was mine
With sweeping staircases in the entrance hall
Crystal chandeliers, oh its perfect for my ball
The guests will arrive in their suits and dresses
Their masks are in place – I hope no one guesses
Dancing by candlelight it is so romantic
Not like at a discothèque so fast and so frantic
I’ve got the most wonderful caterers in the west
Their canapés are amazing, simply the best
Ice-cold champagne served in a crystal glass
It really is apt for a party of this class
It’s secret wedding party for when my beloved and I say ‘I do’
The only thing missing from my surprise party is YOU

Wind undressed the sky, bared a canvas painted blue.
Motley faces of sunflower smiles and festive air; an abstract
splash, each gleamed; each swung in purple dress, waiting
for the bride, a summer moon, to float to the stage as funnels
of colored rays crisscrossed: the shimmer of light.
Surreal charm, the display of a galaxy of heaven's stars
offset against the blue. The world asleep, the heavens
agog with bulging eyes as the bride glided, floating;
not turning right or left, set for the peopled hall lit
by faces painted crimson. Bated breath charged the air
as gathering of God's victorious saints spelled creation.
Rapturous applause—sounds of praise, of merrymaking—
sun, moon, stars aired soft tunes; lightning arced across the sky;
thunder rumbled. Cutleries clattered, signaling the bride's arrival!
I sat in glimmering red at a table decked with white roses.

Excuse me Mr Penguin,
in your formal black attire;
are you going to State Occasion?
Do you mind if I enquire?
Is it for a Mansion House Banquet,
Hunt, May or Common Ball?
Do you wish for specially fitted,
off the peg, or off the wall?
For this kind of dress is most reserved
for when Black Tie,-DJ's not suffice,
and even for dinner, dance or prom,
you need to look just nice!
But Sir there's quite a difference,
it's important that you see,
if you turn up quite understated;
you'll look as plain as me!
I see you like the morning suit
that's used for daytime wear,
by males at wedding party
or occasion needing special care.
I rather like those long black tails,
black tie, white shirt, top hat,
with fresh clean socks and nice new shoes
Yes, you'll look quite smart in that!
Thankyou, now is there something else,
like men's accessorie?
I'll wrap them up and take your cash,
Then rub my hands with glee!
