Woman at the right
wears different color dresses
all for bridesmaids.
I don’t care about dresses.
What’s her name and phone number?

Confetti kisses parade happy face
Joyful tears baptizing licorice lips
Not only was a beautiful day made
But heart is doing butterfly flips
Grooms and bridesmaids chant
Newly wed husband and wife dance...

Had my hair color treated
To surprise the wedding guests
Shock came at the rehearsal
Groom wanted to leave

His once-blonde bride had green curls
She’d been hoping for brunette
Oh, how the bridesmaids chuckled
Wig worn at wedding





Sadly, a true story....

Bollie the bride wanted her bachelorette party to include a hot air balloon.
Her besties thought this was great, as they headed out toward the moon.
But she had had way too much to drink, and she started to swoon.
bridesmaids spent the night trying to keep her inside the dhramed balloon....

In a galaxy of a million star's 
The residual heat
That forged Gold
And coal into diamonds
The parameters of jewelry 
On wedding rings
Dig hole's on earth
Orion's Belt 
3 Sister's 
Bridesmaids
Adorned in Satin
Capitulate on celestial horizon 
Both Black and Light
Surfing on the dust of night
Like meteorites...

around a thorny rose stem,
tickles the chin,
entices the shy bud —
a blush,
potently pink, blossoms.

and Queen Anne’s lace,

The stage was set, the guests now all arrived
A bright sun shone o'er garden paths and flow'rs
The groomsmen sparred and raced about outside
Some bridesmaids danced  and laughed 'midst leafy bow'rs

Yet heard in distant realms, the rumble of Spring show'rs
Alas, cried she, dared Ze-us spoil this Day
Alack, moaned he, the gods will have their Way...

January 1960 must come or I’d not exist —
After the blizzard snow — bridesmaids in Christmas red.
New the bride — dark hair, pink lips.
Under the honeymoon a seed was sown —
Armed with words in her tiny fist.
Romance of my parents, both twins —
Yonder their September stars — I blow a kiss.

There were bridesmaids five who were prudent
with lamps prepared having sufficient
   spare oil at the ready
   for lights to be steady.
The groom turned up late but was jubilant.

The other five bridesmaids were foolish.
Without oil their lamps to replenish,
   they asked for some more 
   from the five at the door,
who said 'No!' and left them in anguish.

Matthew 25.1-13...

everyone gets married in white, irvory or pink her bridesmaids said.
She laughed until she coughed way down in her head
Have you met me? She asked them, enough said.
She got married in a gorgeous gown of red.

Will we be wearing white they had asked the bride.
Oh, no, she said, you will be in pink, and it will slide.
She was a designer who had pizazz and wanted her way.
She was the most beautiful bride ever on her wedding day....

This is for the creative
The occult who forge ahead 
Against the tide that pop rides
In bridesmaids roles 
Watching from the bleachers 
The set aside pitied creatures 
The wedding video won't feature
For fear to tread the stage of fright
The shy ignites the afterlife and background noise 
Of cutting floor's and empty drawers 
Where enlightenment waits for those who chance 
Upon the fork the road will take
When following circles has run it's course 
And no 1 answers...

green chiffon prom dresses for my identical twin and myself
Spent most of the summer of seventy, not on a hanger or shelf
First there was prom, but then we were in a wedding or two
Ending up being bridesmaids for brides we barely knew

This is what happens when everyone wants twins in their wedding
Those green chiffon dresses we barely were shedding
We finally started offering to share the dresses with others
No. They want identical twins too, said the brides' insistent mothers....
