I am Monstrously late for the bus this week. Argent is driving the bus here for DFTP...DFTP asks us to write about non-denominational wedding, but at the same time insists not to be slushy,tacky,cheesy or mention any religion or God.Writing about a wedding and not to be slushy is tough, but when has been a poetry bus ride easy. I have no personal experience of this, so I am running late for the bus. This poem is written in a hurry to catch the bus. I am writing this based on my observation. I've been observing the most lovely couple i know- my parents for now 24 years and this is just a jist of it.
My
26 years to search you
Just a lifetime to hold you
Only a minute to kiss at I Do
A pout to say Will do
A smile to submit to you
An innocent lie to say no cue
A hug to coax me for work
An embrace to impede me leaving for work
A nudge to say speak up
A sideway glance to say shut up
A sigh to convince me
A raised eyebrow to question me
A punch to tell the truth
A peck to lie for you
A glance to make me forget everything
A wink to pull at my heart
You are a pill for a miracle life
A jewel for a lovely wife!
P.S.: I have no clue how the other passengers managed to pull through this, but they did it smoothly.

This is a real pick-me-up peom. Ithink everyone should some poetry first thing in the morning.
I think the the format your chose is so perfect for the subject matter rhyming coupletts.
This is a wonderful push-me-pull me tale of the good, the not so good but the overall love of a partnership
Just brilliant
Wha neat, well-observed, piece. As Gwei says, a real pick-me-up.
@Gwei :)Thank you so much.Now I m gonna have wonderful morning.
@Argent Thank you.That's so thoughtful of you to help DFTP.I am glad you stopped the bus for this passenger:)
Congratulations on a job well done, I love this verse which makes such a nice change from all those over sentimental poems we often hear at weddings.
@Tracy (Petty Witter) Thank you:)I tried to make it as warm as possible and this verse came out :)
So full of energy and optimism ... loved it!
@Helen Thank you for the kind comments :)
Ah, its the bride's prerogative to be late for the wedding!
Lovely piece and looks well on the page too.
I really like this, and it is a very fine observation of the non-verbals that pass between couples who've been together a long time. Recognised myself in a few parts.
And love to those who inspired this - lucky you to have them!
@Peter :D haha...Thank you so much
@Titus Thank you. I sure am lucky to have them.I will convey your regards to them :)
Cheers to you:)

It's different, and I like different.I like the push and pull of it.Coolio!
@TFE :D Thank you!
This felt so Frank Sinatraish ;) And I so mean it as a compliment. One of these days, I'll find time to get on the bus. I so want to. After all, there are so many wonderful people on it.
