In My Wedding Dress I wanted to take a picture of the sun behind the clouds in my wedding dress all slanted off shoulder with old elastic and mauve moving into the horizon See the motion of the moment so strong that you can almost taste it like warm pumpkin and real butter stir like crazy the composition then let go the batteries bobbing in their twin beds with no safety bar the kids fall out and the light is gone gone now and this minute will never be the same A sigh hisses from the slip of sun and then it’s gone gone falling into oceans pacific surrender there to fish for the sunset of someone else in a wedding dress all new and fragile with a first you may kiss the bride now and a new camera with fresh batteries and so much time |

What you do to human feelings when a person reads you is a sin  Beautiful Martie, there is only one you! |

Thank you everyone, and Choshi, congrats ARE in order. My husband and I are renewing our vows after 25 years...thus the wedding dress, which I can still wear with a bit of new elastic here and there. This celebration is also because of the winning of my husband's battle with cancer. To life and to love!! |
