A Brides Vow

Missing image

A Brides Vow

With you my wedding vows combine
and bring us to this wedding place;
a love that has no boundary line.

You wear a tux that is O so fine,
I in a dress of satin and lace;
with you my wedding vows combine.

I pledge these vows that now define;
two lives that share both time and space,
a love that has no boundary line.

The thrill of knowing you are mine
and I am yours in loving grace;
with you my wedding vows combine.

Our life together will refine,
a gentle touch in your embrace,
a love that has no boundary line.

We share together this sweet wine
and all the things that we will face.
With you my wedding vows combine
a love that has no boundary line.

For Tarja


Villanelle:
A Villanelle is a nineteen-line poem consisting of a very specific rhyming scheme:
aba aba aba aba aba abaa.
The first and the third lines in the first stanza are repeated in alternating order throughout the poem, and appear together in the last couplet (last two lines).

The rhyme was wonderful and the meter was right on. I love your background. It was perfect for this. Thank you for this wonderful start to my day. Good luck in the contest. You are a terrific poet.

      No Villanelles anen't hard to write. The repeating lines cut out the need to think of so many different rhyming words.

    My Dear Friend,

    What a wonderful gift for a wedding! I too did one for my son that is getting married later this year.... I love the idea of personalizing gifts for such occasions. Just seems to be more approriate!

    And your form.... OMG! I love this form! You such a master when it comes to form poetry!

    Best of luck in this contest!!

    and love
