Wedding poem Wedding Vows

May we forever be lovers,
May we forever be friends,
And should we hurt each other,
May we quickly make amends.

May we enjoy our passion,
But never let compassion die,
Thinking in selfless terms as we,
Never emphasising I.

May we forever be soul-mates,
May our love eternally last,
May the food of love sustain us,
May we never have to fast.

May we use each other’s strengths,
When we are feeling weak,
May we both learn to compromise,
And always as one voice speak.

May we never keep dark secrets,
May we never tell each other lies,
May we both work unceasingly,
To ensure our love never dies.

Her Readings a Joy

sagacious woman
psychic healer and reader
lovely predictions

silver crossed her palm
people waited in long lines
her readings a joy

her children waited
hoping for her attention
they are still waiting

An Evening With My Poet Friends

         
       An Evening with Poet friends 
                          9/13/2023


Really, sharing fully is nothing new to me.
Just want all to dive in without a bit of hesitation.
Splashing like shiny, rainbowed fish and express
The rays-of our shiny, unique individuality.

I only wish, a few of us were in a room together.
You’d read us your divine, poetic creations.
Teas, lemon, coffees, and hors dourves….
No strangers, just caring, close poet friends.

You are invited to bring, fresh, baked sensations.
I will provide plaid throws, as the Autumn winds blow.
So bring your delicacies and unique poetry..
A poetry evening, where all shall be honored! 

Declared winners and stunning sensations.
While the warmth of joyful, appreciation burns!

“In My Own Style”

Grand Final Clash

There was a day set aside for the wedding
but the groom was very much dreading
it would be the same day
his grand final would play
and that’s where it looked it was heading

Alas his worst fears came true
So what was he s’posed to do?
Change the date
he’d marry his mate
or send a substitute to say “I do”?

Of course, that could be done covertly
The team had done it before with Curtley
but if the bride found out
she’d give him a clout
and the next month he’d spend inertly

So I hope we have the real groom today – 
shame on his mates for staying away
but he stayed away too
when best man for Stew
and the ladies can still throw the bouquet

The bride is also very fond of her sport
loving a good tussle on field and on court
It’s clear and plain
she knows Glen’s pain
and she’s the kind and compassionate sort

This wedding’s been the perfect storm
The bride’s team’s in awesome form
Today’s their final too
So what’s Jane s'posed to do?
Miss it, or follow the wedding norm? 

I’m sorry the groom’s grumpy and pre-occupied
but the final’s on now and he’s not in the side
but Jane empathizes
with his sacrifices
having hired a substitute bride!

Palm Readings

Just like a weasel living life as a scavenge
I’m sure just like he it’s not as he would have planned it 
And with patrol shifts going out to all the giants and talls
They sure use their big britches to control us their fellow smalls 

I’ve educated my self in history of war and treaties 
Why it’s unhumbling to see history just repeating 
Down at my hands now old ones new
The choices I’ve made created their lines and grooves

Smack dab out of the toxicity
Dropping and falling repeatedly and repeatedly 
And when I hit the grounds bottom 
I bounce back right up to the top 
And there’s no time to get your footing stuck on such
Because around around the wheel continues and turns
Its only at your end your allowed to get off

Maybe
Your eyes read the surroundings
Your friends read your values
Your readers read your experiences
Your workers read your face
Your wife reads your hardships
Your children read your love
Your mirror reads your appearance
Justice reads your loyalty
And God will read your heart

Nineteen-Fifties Poetry Readings

One night each week, we courting couples meet
to share our poetry and chat a while.
This time we’ll all enjoy a special treat.
Romantic sonnets sure to make us smile
and swoon will be recited in grand style.

Though not part of the beatnik “misfit” crowd,
we’re nonconformists--in just one respect.
Our venue is a grassy field! We’re proud
to have this spot that many would reject,
this place where kindred spirits can connect.

Readings

Read for pleasure
In full measure


Glimpse the story
That you now see


Watch brief tale told
As words take hold


Good and bad spark
How knowing marks


Read of crisp writes
That feel can cite


Gain a deep touch
To know as much


Read of magic
In thoughts mystic


The way is known
In unknown shown


Invest and spend
As thoughts transcend


Readings of grace
Meet time and space


All looks easy
For what will be


The more you read
The more you need

Readings

Read in-between lines
Glimpse clear message fine


Catch the hidden touch
That tells more than much


Know that spacious lot
Beyond simple thought


Read the fine print well
Watch secret art spell

Readings

Words on the brink
Merge beyond think


Words seem to feel
That touch can heal


Readings ply lines
That feel inclines


Not much to say
In mad array


Joy seeds a frown
When cheer meets clown


Too much of noise
Ferments new voice


Mad verse can teach
Such unknown reach


Prize in bold jest
That awkward test


Readings forge things
From savvy flings

Readings

This casual trip
Ushers a grip
As chance now rips
A pleasant sip


Here by the way
Is a strange play
Of succinct say
That floods my day


Words mix with poise
Spark a fine voice
To pierce the noise
That stifles choice


Readings fall still
As if a will
Has censored thrill
In awkward feel


Books of all sort
Pamper our lot
In such sweet spots
As wonder plots


Light streams to show
A poignant flow
That brings a glow
To things I know


Thus all feels good
Like fancy foods
Where taste shapes mood
In sacred woods

Readings

With you here
I live cheer


A fine range
Of change strange


Joy swirls sad
Glad twirls mad


With your smile
Feel love style


A new day
Feel fond play


Dream come true
That's my you


With your touch
Grand seeds much


A deep feel
Grooms fine will


In your eyes
Grace leaps high


With each read
Poise now seeds


A kind tint
Hints new mint


With a choice
Love prompts voice

Readings

Rich rapture reaps
Taste timely trip


Readings rouse room
Bright blessings bloom


Tale trumpets trace
Seek sanguine space


Faith frames fine face
Ponder prompt pace


Wonder works write
Cheer channels cite


Claim clever cheer
Seek sublime seer


Notice new notes
Route richer rotes


Buoyant brew bites
Work well wise writes


Readings reach right
Scan superb sights
