Poems
I stand and wait by the garden gate
My object of affection is fashionably late
When she appears she will be mine
For a wedding is planned to celebrate.
Married by a de-frocked priest
[the folks didn't have a clue ]
the day was mostly sunny,
the geese were quaking too!
My groom it seems was fretin'
but my brother well [he knew ]
Mary Jane was just the thing
to go with cheese fondue!
Pond side, down garden path
the flower girl was crying
the ring bearers pillow dropped
the brides maids were sighing!
Missing Mom finally showed,
her ex in tow with tootsie
what delight, what painful fright
and me the raving beauty!
What a day, that 26th of May
I should have guessed, you know
when the wedding suites' door
stuck, they gave us free bordeaux.
all a dimple in my face
as four metal plates say thank you
what were you thinking to blow my face
as I teach your little girl to blow a world
as each petal a seed and the envelope hold four
and go fetch me six more to make a ten and if twenty
we have a garden and make an happy couple
A sister's love
Patient and true
We've been together all our lives
Lived through the bad times
The good times
And the blessings
Life is a garden to grow
You add flowers and vegetables and vines of strength
Manny and Irene
We believe your vine will be strong and grow continuously
For many years down the road
We are blessed to be your sister
We are truly happy you meant someone
you could grow old with forever
In your garden of life
PRODUCED WEDDING FIASCO
If cantaloupe
Could elope
and marry a honey dew melon
What would happen
If a cabbage out grows the garden
As crabgrass and dandelions rapes the fruits and vegetables
All this and inclement weather
What's the matter
Cantaloupe cancels the wedding?
Why! you may ask amongst the dandelions and crabgrass
Because they cantaloupe

HOT PLATE OF JUNE
Plumes of unskilled daisies scatter, undone.
Pure bouquet brightens the borrowed garden.
Blue garter tight around her upper thigh, croon.
Anticipation simmers on this hot plate of June.
Groom rips open top button and loosens his tie,
dizzy with champagne and his alluring bride.
Virgin in lace and crowned with antique veil,
her pulse reddens as her imagination sets sail.
A final act to throw her bouquet aimlessly, sow seed,
spurring on a blushing bride, blessing a wife, godspeed.

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
Through our wish
Through our goals
Through our done mean
Through a compliment decide by the garden
Minute having a coming --
Minute always passing, creating
A matter turn alive
We not confused reality came from mentality --
On goals for, married being us cute
Thou, through wish goals merged
of our mean
The garden the memories
Over the minutes coming
And always sort a matter
From reality, from mentally
Flying on the handle.
The canopy was beaming beneath radiant stars, as whirling
wedding night dances swirled round and round the garden …
But her husband crippled, his manhood puerile,
Fate untied their sterile knot of desire.
The world seemed to shrug; she felt herself
scorned. Passersby avoided her eyes ...
Was it she'd been abandoned, deficient found?
Or had the clock just run out on her cries?

Furnances, cast-iron, will wrought a deadly terrain;
The mulling of our spirit has
Juggled words of gods out of our mouths
While we hide like moths,
Thus life begins an affair with a new universe
Where furnances are allowed
To crawl the garden grounds
as our hearts watch
Aflame with plummage.
Overview
A garden gives wedding poetry a setting that feels both intimate and alive. Paths, leaves, herbs, flowers, weather, birdsong, and changing light can turn an abstract feeling into something readers can see and hear. A poem might follow the couple beneath branches, pause beside a familiar bloom, or notice the quiet earth under ceremonial clothes. Garden imagery works for vows, readings, invitations, and anniversary pieces because it can hold many moods: joyful color, private stillness, patient care, or the slight uncertainty of wind and rain.
Choose details that belong to the actual place or to the couple’s shared history. The scent of rosemary, gravel underfoot, a gate left open, or one rain-bright leaf will feel more personal than a general parade of flowers. Gardens are cultivated, but never fully controlled; that balance offers an honest way to write about partnership as something tended together while still making room for surprise.
Meaning and Symbolism
In wedding poems, a garden can symbolize attention, renewal, shelter, and the life two people choose to care for together. Seeds may suggest beginnings, roots can evoke steadiness or family history, and seasonal change can acknowledge that a marriage will contain many kinds of days. A gate or path may represent invitation and shared direction, while intertwined branches can suggest closeness without erasing individuality.
These meanings are possibilities rather than fixed rules. A wild garden may speak of freedom; a formal one may reflect intention and balance; a kitchen garden may honor nourishment and daily work. Let the plants, climate, and setting guide the symbolism. Specific observation keeps the image grounded and helps the poem celebrate partnership without making nature feel like decoration.
Wedding Poem Writing Ideas
- Begin with one sensory detail: Describe the scent of an herb, the warmth of a stone path, or the sound of leaves before naming any emotion.
- Follow a garden path: Structure the poem as a walk, allowing each turn to reveal a memory, promise, or hope for the marriage.
- Choose a meaningful plant: Use a flower, tree, herb, or vegetable connected to the couple, then explore why it matters to them.
- Include imperfection: A bent stem, sudden shower, or overgrown corner can add honesty and tenderness to an otherwise celebratory poem.
- Write through the seasons: Let spring, summer, autumn, and winter represent changing circumstances while the couple continues to care for their shared life.
Sample Wedding Poem Lines
Beneath the pear tree, we promise to notice each season.
Your hand finds mine where the narrow garden path divides.
Rosemary scents the air as our two names become a vow.
May we make room for rain, new leaves, and unplanned color.
At the open gate, the whole green morning waits with us.
