There is marriage in the air, here at PiP. For my friends, (you know who you are) a thought on... "Vows" It occurs to me that any two people Considering marriage need to realize That failure is not, an option You must eliminate the escape clauses Work without a net Overcome the trivial and it is all trivial I speak from some small experience of it I really do, wish that instead of parroting some rent-a-preachers words by rote I had just taken her sweet face into my two hands and said from my heart into the soul of her “I will not, fail you” ~wranx The shortest distance between two points... is sometimes, intolerable.

Thank yous, to Martie, mycafe and Joyce. I appreciate your comments and kindnesses. Brian ~ I may have leaned this late, but, learn it - I did. Madam "C" ~ It'll take a bit more than that, I'm afraid. But this "Worldcom thing" is really starting to get under my collar ~wranx The shortest distance between two points... is sometimes, intolerable.

You took the hollow out of the marital promise with much expressiveness entwined with logical forethought and incite. Very well done, indeed. |

It is nice to see your softer side, wranx. Ready to see an angry one? I'm going to write a nice angry poem in Dark called "Burning web of lies," simply because I want to. Look for it! (maybe it'll get you "wranx"ed up)Said if I only could ... |

Overcome the trivial and it is all trivial. Being married I can relate to this line. Quite a bit of truth spoken in this poem. |

My Hon and I have been married happily for 33 years. And every word you said is so so right on. A wonderfully encouraging poem on the joys of marriage. “I will not, fail you” I love this line...

Hi Wranx, I wonder if we learn from our experiences. I seem to make the same mistakes over and over again, I'm simply more conscious of them now. Good thought provoking poem. Corinne |
