Horsey Marriage

She plays all kinds of games,

asks me to be part

of her whimsical world,

and I nod.

So on a weekend morning,

in the backyard,

we played horsey marriage.

She decorated her horses,

with accessories,

as she desired,

she dressed up herself.

She was the minister,

her brother was the witness,

me, the photographer.

She read vows,

from marriage rule book:

“Rocking horse, do you promise

to cherish Galloping horse

as your wedded wife?

Galloping horse,

do you promise

to cherish Rocking horse

as your wedded husband?

Now, I pronounce you

as wedded couple.

You may kiss.”

We sprinkled flowers,

on the horsey couple.

My inner child,

is so happy

to be part,

of the fairytale wedding.
