Poetry Friday: Elle of Joy

 

Elle of Joy

 

In the tranquil scene,

she leaps in and out of my

frame with shots of joy.

Poetry Friday: Two Haiku, At a Respectable Age and One Star Review

 

At a Respectable Age

 

Age covers beauty:

in wrinkled skin, tusks poised to

lower or thrust through.

 

~and~

 

One Star Review

 

My wrinkled eyelid

judges, assesses, and deems

you worth one trumpet.

Poetry Friday: Sister of the Bride

Sister of the Bride

 

Years of dress-up from

the costume box, swish and swirl

in her wedding dress.

Poetry Friday: Mother of the Bride

Mother of the Bride

Seated behind her,

rising from the chair to dance

into her future.

 

 

Lorie Ann Grover, 2013

 

My lupus flared the night before the wedding. Arriving in a wheelchair, I was blessed to stand and walk down the aisle for the ceremony and then to dance at the reception. Joy! 

Poetry Friday: Father of the Bride

Father of the Bride

 

Caught in the rearview

is your childhood, fluttering

in my gasping heart.
