May happiness and joy, fill your heart each morning May passion, fill your spirit at lights dawning May your smiles, greet and brighten every day While swaying, to life's dance, partners in this ballet Find all your solace, in each others arms while your feeding, on each others charms enjoy, the spring and summer of your life and protect each other, from all the strife In this journey, your life's purpose, will be fulfilled Together, you'll greet the winter, and be thrilled

She descends from a summit vestibule on powder fine as cotton down this day of days in porcelain chiffon and tulle. The winter firs in frost echo the way her snowflake peau de soie in frozen jewel cascades like waterfalls of ice. Tears weigh the same as beaded pearls and just as cool; they glisten in her bodice. The light plays from a ghost sun inside them as in pools of diamonds. She glides in mist-white sleigh down slopes of eider, the cold glitter fools even the nearest celebrant and strays from hearts of men for she's just as cruel as flood or famine on Winter's first day.

The day the earth stood still, bells suspended in the tower, chimes froze in vacant space, nullified the hour. Her veil like spider web, stiff with Winter frost, hung upon the mannequin head, poignant and lost. His buttonhole carnation, a bullet wound lapel, blood red with cautious dying, in the dresser fell. And all the best laid plans unravel seam by seam, faint echoes in an empty church, never more to dream.

Winter Winter is coming. It's very very cold outside. Easy to get Flu Keep your body Temperature. If sick, see doctor.

Wedding not my dream bridal make up, golden embroidered red silky gown, was it me ? The day was bright and we sat on the stage, as winter chose not to show its rage, Relatives and friends relished the food, Mesmerising music lifted the mood, My wedding day marks my life's golden page.

Five sisters. Each as pretty as the other. Their names are Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring and nameless. Whom to choose from them? I’d rather… Five sisters! Each as pretty as the other! I’d rather seek the blessing of their mother to put on nameless this engagement ring. Five sisters. Each as pretty as the other. Their names are Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring. * Ring finger is called nameless finger in Russian. 04.05.2019 Celebrate May with a Triolet (tree-o-lay) Poetry Contest Andrea Dietrich

The groom standing next to the minister Nervous, sweating gettting cold feet Maybe we should wait until next winter Then the bride enters the suite As she walks down the isle The minister sees her smile As is reflected in the groom's eyes And what to his surprise The groom's jaw relaxes A smile comes on his face An attitude of love says I would give my life in her place (This truth and a metaphor.)

This ring means much to me, Much more than my own finger. The love in this wedding ring, Will always and forever linger. I love you more than myself, I love you with all my heart. I love you more than life itself, I wish that we would never be apart. The Great evergreen Best represents our love, Summer, winter, spring, and fall. The only thing to stop us, Is the great God above. This ring is strong, For it, I would lose my ring finger. I'd wear it around my neck, For the love, will always, and forever linger.
