The Wedding Dress for Sunset
A Poem
As I walked through a busy city by the bell,
A traditional, white garment caught my eye.
It was a beautiful silhouette.
My eyes widened with delight and fantasy,
But my heart sunk with sorrow and loneliness.
While I froze in front of the boutique,
I was hypnotized by the embroidered floral appliqués.
There were painful memories of lost love.
The Lord’s house was opened for us,
But it was never entered.
I was abandoned by lust when I needed love.
There were no others.
No one was true.
The mates had no soul.
I bought the gown while I was alone.
It was for the day my sun sets.
Maybe the Lord will present me with the one in the kingdom.

The Song Of The Green Man
Introduction This is inspired by two things, the walk along a main road in Newcastle that you can see below: ... and I mentioned the Green Man in a recent poem and my great friend made a comment that amused me as she was totally unaware of the legends of the Green Man. This is the poem.

It's a beautiful dress, but mine was better. At a wedding, the bride's wedding dress always attracts special charm and attention. I recently purchased my adorable wedding dress from Pollardi https://pollardi.com/brands/daria-karlozi . These dresses are just delightfully romantic, close-fitting outfits just like I wanted. They are truly designed to make the bride look superb. I received many compliments on my wedding day and felt incredible. Go to the website and see for yourself.
