“They seemed very happy.” ~ the groom‘s father oh please we’re all happy on our wedding day what’s not to be happy about we look beautiful the food is good and we get fancy cake for dessert it’s the marriage that well... let’s just say the fancy cake is all gone he will tell her he never really enjoyed being cheek by jowl with her weird mother and younger brother and she will say while she loves sleeping with him his arm around her all night feels... well… confining he will notice the way she tends to be just a little late every time how did he miss that before? and she will observe that he is just a little thicker around the middle than she thought they will discover the upside down inside out of it all habits and words not expected never before noticed breathing that goes on and on when silence is preferable they will become so very much who they really are and shock each other with the truth then look at one another with different eyes in the dead of night and wonder what they have done and how to undo it without talking about it but they seemed very happy on their wedding day |

Well...look at it this way....We all found out Elvis REALLY IS DEAD when she married Michael Jackson..cuz I can assure you....Elvis would have made his presence known if he wasn't 6 feet under.....(but, I'll bet he did roll over a time or two in his grave).....very interesting write... |

Kate, I think that you could convince me that polystyrene is alive and beautiful if you wanted to! When I saw the title, I thought what a challenge! How on earth is even Kate going to make that interesting, but you did it! You always do. There is such communication between your eyes and your words. I love enjoying your observation and wisdom translated into art. - Owl |

Thank you Page. I appreciate your reply. Thank you Toerag. I think the real question is “Was Elvis ever really alive?” Thank you LeeJ. I would never say Elvis is not alive.  Diana, I think there’s a little glitch in my brain that makes me think a bit abnormally. All right… a lot abnormally. Thank you for your kind words. Thank you WindWalker. Thanks poeticrockstar! |

Yes. Let them eat cake! You have a way of slicing it to the quick. Maybe they need a few sprigs of Rosemary, too. Rosed colored glasses on occasion, I've found to be an asset. I enjoyed your insight, Lady. There is nothing like the voice of experience, is there? Hugs, ~ Karren |
