Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Practice Run
Potted plants are sentinels to the mirror
Whose framed crown is of golden leaves, a proper
Accoutrement to the geometric carpet for
The bride’s solo walk down the hall
Where glass lets the ritulant ball
Of sunny rays fall
And highlight the beauty walking
In her silvery white mini dress, swaying
To the music only she’s hearing
In her head. Her hair flows around
Her naked shoulders covered
Only by a spaghetti strap held
In place by a sweetheart bust,
With a pencil skirt, shiny studs, a must
To twinkle with a flare that places lust
Invisible in the hearts of men
For she’s not theirs to pen-
In like a hen.
Though she glitters in sophistication,
She’s a simple woman needing adoration,
Returning it a thousand fold in construction
Of a family filled with unity,
Acceptance, support, faith whose sheeny
Gleam encompasses their home with sunny
Dispositions that help them flow
And navigate a world of chaos that’ll blow
Their illusions of a world that’s all faux.
