the 10 of 12 given words
bruised dancing joints wedding
music fiddled bar dusty weight lips
bruised ego dancing
in seedy joints to forget
a disappointment
no wedding music
fiddled with the liberal
bar's downing of booze
but to clear dusty
minds putting weight on sane lips
like dignified souls

ReplyDeleteWhat Lynn said! Liked that last stanza especially.
ReplyDeleteSome want a fuss made at their weddings other a low key affair. Usually the groom has to go along with the decision as it appears to be her day!
ReplyDeleteThere's a slow melancholy dance in these words.
