THE BRIDE WORE RED

somewhere waiting to be found
rejected by the scholar
hungerying and waiting to be found
she sat confused in pigeon park

in the back alley of chinatown
a bohemian poet sat
chanting some zen mantra
and glaring at the red dress

he got up and approached her
with the lisp and laughter of a fairy
he asked what she was waiting for
will you marry me?

of course i will
so off they went
he in black she in red
looking for some bohemian preacher

I like this, it made me smile. I like the lines:
"hungerying and waiting to be found
she sat confused in pigeon park"
and

he in black she in red
looking for some bohemian preacher

This image didn't speak to me, so I used another. But I like what you do with it, especially all the details on Bohemian life.

Talk about spontaneity - or is it serendipity? Two people finding each other. I like it.

Thank you for visiting. The 'girl in the pearl earring' intrigues me. Were you in Cuba? Was she? I'm a bit inclined to take things literally!
