wedding bells peal o'er
the world to-day
they peal in such an
exuberant way

pealing for the bride
and groom
who'll be partnered
to love's bloom

pealing of devotion's
everlasting bliss
the beauty of a warm
loving kiss

pealing a nuptial
togetherness
the sharing of a close
love fondness

pealing
pealing
pealing
an amplified sound
pealing
pealing
pealing
a joyous resound

wedding bells peal o'er
the world to-day
they peal in such an
exuberant way

The poem was inspired by wedding bells, that were pealing a few days ago.

French Kiss

If
I
Look
Like
I’m
Not
Worried
It’s because I’m not

I’ve learned to
Chase no one.
Chase nothing.
Force no one.
Force nothing.

Truth remains
You’ll rarely have to run after who/what’s meant for you.

Girl, 20

Her and higher education:

Those narrow walls

That building
with too many stares

All the talk about climbing
up the flagpole

Just to see
what goes up

And what comes down

It was so much easier
when they just wanted

To carry her books

Note: The placement of stares, and not stairs, is intentional. It is not a typo.

Fixing

posting poems
on Hello
Poetry
has become
an
impossibility

for as I got to press
the save
button
(THE BAD GATEWAY NOTIFICATION)
will invariably
don

would seem that the
server isn't
transmitting
and that it might need
a little
fixing

Seasons

Note The Behaviour Of The
Seasons And Their Seams
As They Mimic And Perform
In Each Others Scenes
As They Slip In A Whisper
Or Maybe They Mime
In Search Of A Moment
To Extend Their Time
