Circle
Two wedding guests go hiking
in the Hudson River Valley.
They repoert getting caught in the rain.
Weeks later they will divorce.
Today’s celebration crescendoes
into circle within dancing circle
containing the wedding couple
The rain stops and days of blazing sun follow.

Oh, wow. Gaby, this one is stunning! Your tiny poem offers us a deeply layered story. The image is perfect.
Concentric circles of people, of weather, of fate.
it all comes back around – nicely done!
you packed in a lot in this tiny space!
I really love this one. Truly circles within dancing circles.
I like the way we pick up with seemingly ancillary characters who become the story of what can happen after a wedding. Many days, many circles and cycles, of rain, sun, etc!
Sad reality; wonderful promise–illustrated with your music.
