Rake would have been my omitted word as well!
Wonderful write. Is this you as the bride in the photo?
Loved this one too. You're just too good at this.

    HA!! Believe it or not I did put rake in a line. It was about her train raking gracefully down the aisle. Talk about an oxymoron! LOL! No, not me in the photo. Something I just picked up from good-ole Google. Ha! Thank you so much for your great review and compliments. With regards, Sue

Nice job working in the contest rules, getting all those words in, and capturing the feelings of a wedding, all the complicated feelings of starting a new life, and letting go of a daughter, all at the same time. nice images, nice upbeat tone to the language, this worked quite well eKPoet

That was FANTASTIC! AWESOME! LOVELY! Excellent use of the given words Sue, I have it all to come to, hopefully! But I can wait. The flow was refined and you breathed life into your poem with mesmerising stanzas, this is you right on top of your game friend, I just checked and guess what?

This is a lovely poem to read - and it must be really difficult to build it around specific words. It flows very well, with unforced rhymes. Good luck in the contest. :)

Ah, the ring. In my world, it's usually attached to a chain and someone wants to pierce my nose with it!
For those who can find happiness in matrimony, I envy you.
Great write Cuz!
Sincerely,
Curt

Excellent poem. I'm impressed with your ability to write a poem with a set of words within a particular form AND (this is the remarkable part) it does not seem stilted, forced or in any ways self-conscious. Bravo.

    What a wonderful compliment! It takes a bit of work to make sure there isn't forced! I appreciate your great review and comments! :-)) Sue

This is a wonder of a piece for the contest. You have woven these words so skillfully into the piece, no one would know any one of them 'had' to be used. So often these poems where you use obscure words turn out to just be vehicles to use them, and would not stand alone, as this piece does. Great job. Wish I had six stars. Good luck.
