morning of wedding
in small town setting
pass the raspberry jam
baskets of muffins
platters of melons
eggs with sausage & ham
under the arbor
of appetite’s ardor
the groom, his men & fam
raise teacups to toast us
(july sun ’bout roasts us)
antique china serves glam!
Eleven years ago today, our oldest son married his sweet bride in Corsica, S. Dakota. Our hostess served us a sumptuous breakfast out in the orchard.
a promise is to keep

double bands of shiny gold
worth more than karats
love’s forever promise bold
heartfire’s diamond facets
God witnesses our vow
joyful organ music plays
life as farmer’s wife now
better together…we stay
lost my wedding ring
after laying it down
while wall-papering;
forgotten with frown
replace with simple band
but heart hurt for a time
when mother passed away
her diamond became mine
set her lovely gem in gold
with another band below
blessings of our sons be told;
five small diamonds in a row
jeweled gift as valued token
from one lover to another
living out our pledges spoken
create family, father, mother.

for love of mums

Hired loon
soloist tunes
to turtledoves
in Central Park
for Cygnus pair
will wed today
on the island
at the pond.
Lovely bride
a sleek swan
dressed in black
red-lipsticked bill
diamond pierced
with pearl strand
encircling elegant
long curved neck.
Graceful groom
in striking white
fixates dark eyes
trumpeting love
as he glides to
her side while
fine feathered
entourage coos.
