Premium MemberWedding 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

Premium MemberHer 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

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,

             boards creaked with late afternoon lore

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

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

Premium MemberNineteen-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

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

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

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

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

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
