August Wedding Poems and Vows
Poems
Away from Rome they drive two-hundred miles
Calabria is their destination.
A wedding at the villa; they’re all smiles!
It’s a time for joyous celebration.
On August twenty-second, guests shall see
a lady fair with her own “honey-poo,”
the union of two soul mates meant to be!
My wish is that their love stay strong and true.
For Dr. Ram Metha's Contest on the form Epithalamium
Lovely baby blues
Your eyes on our wedding day
Years melt and are gone
Age changes outward beauty
Memory keeps the moment

Beautiful white lace and
Buoyant veil, a vision
Beguiling as she walks,
Borne on dreams, promising,
Blushing and radiant,
Beside her proud father,
Betrothal bells ringing.

It’s been a funny summer, June
skipped into August and was gone.
How did we miss that afternoon?
It’s been a funny summer. June
just packed her bags. No honeymoon.
The whole production overdrawn,
it’s been one funny summer. June
skipped into August and is gone.

Bright warm sunny day
My bride adorned in white lace
Church bells ringing out
Church bells ringing out
In god's presence vows taken
Love, cherish I will
Love, cherish I will
Wedding cake cut, celebrate
Smiling happy faces
We have been married thirty six years this August
Late summer, beautiful noonday,
Season's flowers bright array,
Lovers here promised to be true;
Came a time they said, "I do."
Wandering breeze, blushing bride,
Handsome groom his certain stride.
Came the hour they both said, "Yes."
Church to witness, God to bless.
Ceremony drifted on summer's dream,
Radiant as sunbeams on a stream.
Came a day they said, "I will."
As the redbird paused its trill.
All the throng the lovers charmed!
Left church each other's arms.
Came a time her name was Mrs--
In an age of starlight kisses!

always abatable from
anyplace but tuscaloosa
cockamamy downstream bunny
descriptive complain brewing
mistaking birthright crisis
meaningfully turmoil tryst
unvalued unpasteurized ureteritis
stewing vaticinate dejection
deflective firm folklore
through gynecologist communications
episodic honeydew gnaw
a crisply blunted
cheeseboard doorstopper looping
merry as can
be for evermore
