I had a lot of fun writing some more ‘poetry on demand’ at another local wedding event this morning, and would like to share one here – written, as usual, in just three minutes – on the requested subject of Family. They gave me more background that just that one word theme of course, but I’ll let the poem speak for itself. Enjoy 🙂

A family as big in heart
as in number
where love runs
thicker than blood
and all are welcome
whatever the connection
but it’s getting harder
to stay in touch
more movement now
more spread out
but we do our best
to keep that glue
of love and connection
strong and true
and though it’s not
all joy and bliss
I wouldn’t trade a thing
for this
solid rock of family
foundations of a life
rooted in, but going beyond
that bond of man and wife

Sealed with a kiss…

He looked deep into her beady black eyes

bright nights into which he fell

then took a deep breath, as his ears turned pink,

“Oh sweetheart, you’re blushing! Do tell!”

***

“I love you more than every star

shining now and that ever will be

you bring out my best, then still love the rest

Darling – will you marry me?”

***

And now it was she who’s pink nose blushed

as she cast her eyes down to the floor

“Of course my sweet,” she said to her feet

“it’s all I’ve been waiting for!”

***

He lifted her chin till she looked at him

and with eyes shining brightly said this,

“I’m yours for all time, as you too are mine.”

then sealed his sweet words with a kiss.

I’m attending another Wedding Fair to write and share poetry this coming Saturday, so today was the perfect opportunity to warm up!

Wedding Poetry – Gratitude

Tags

creativity, joy, love, marriage, poem, poetry, wedding

It was such a joy writing poetry for those who attended the wedding fair on Sunday. The time flew by, and I wrote 12 poems in the four hours I was there, on a huge range of topics from giraffes and butterflies, to marathon running to the timeless expression of the meeting of the personal and the universal ‘I’ve just become engaged to the man of my dreams’. It was fun, it was deep, it was magical, it was moving, it was community building it was heart expanding. A privilege.

I’ll share three of the free three minute free taster poems I wrote here (try saying that five times fast!), unedited and full of feeling if not finesse 😉 Enjoy, in Joy!

Butterflies – written for a young girl who adores them, and has their image on her bedroom lamp.

Beautiful colours

delicate wings

so free and so flighty

such magical things

 

You land on the flowers

or rest in the trees

and there in my bedroom

you’re close to me

 

Not real of course, no

that wouldn’t be fair

for you like to be

in the fresh open air

 

I can’t wait for summer

(you don’t like the cold)

to see you again

brave, bright and bold

I had a little help from this lucky charm with that one 😉

 

 

 

Pearls and roses…this bride to be told me how she’d always loved pearls, which are her birth stone, and roses are her favourite flower

Ever since I was a girl

Their precious sheen

has held me enthralled

as the gem of my birth

they feel close to me

their beauty, purity

born of the sea

Roses in contrast

are birthed from the earth

bold and red, their heady scent

speaks of love and luxury

Together combined

the magic’s complete

A salty pearl

a rose so sweet

And so I wish

our love to be

as rich as a rose

as deep as the sea

And finally, I’ll share this ‘Man of my dreams’ one, which had the mother of the bride to be excitedly proclaiming. ‘You could include that in your ceremony!’

 

So much fun! Can’t wait to do it again 🙂
