Excited shivers
ripple through family and friends.
Here she comes – the bride!
———–
As enraptured guests
witness exchanging of vows,
tearful joy glistens.
———–
Joined now forever
as loving husband and wife,
they share their first kiss.
———–
Reception begins,
photographs taken outside
So lucky – no rain!
———–
The night melts away –
Dancing, speeches, bouquet thrown.
A perfect wedding.

For TJ’s challenge this week, I have reblogged a photo which I feel depicts chaos and order working hand and hand…
an ordered release
rains celebration chaos
upon bride and groomBy Sarah ©2017
Prompt: Daily Post Daily Prompt, release; and also, TJ’s Household Haiku, 13 August 2017 – chaos and order
This photo is a contradiction of itself. Portraying both order and chaos – the order of everyone releasing their confetti at the same time while conversely, creating chaos with this same release.
I love this photo which was taken at a friend’s wedding in 2012.
Prompt: Weekly Photo Challenge, Task: Share an image that sends chaos packing (neatly).
a chance encounter;
your perfume is telling me,
“It’s time to get lost!”
By Sarah ©2017
Prompt: TJ’s Household Haiku, Words – perfume and lost
A trio of Haiku for this week’s challenge from TJ. Enjoy!

The last leaves crumble.
Days grow longer; warmth returns.
It’s looking like Spring.
—————————-
Looking at the world
from a leafy bird’s eye view.
I may catch them yet!
—————————-
This year I’m looking
to turn over a new leaf
…it’s long overdue.

my love loves flowers.
nothing brings her so much joy
as their sweet perfume.
a lippy tulip,
roses of red, pink, yellow,
purple hued violets,
sunny gerberas,
delicate gypsophila,
perfect proteas,
cheeky daffodils,
full rainbows of carnations,
sassy snapdragons,
queenly hydrangas,
a daisy just makes her day.
to market I went
to buy her bouquet.
I just couldn’t decide so
I bought the whole lot!
