Wedding Tanka for Linda & Coleman
Together for years
already, they don’t expect
magic. But when they
say their vows, love rises up
& grabs us all by the throat.

Ha! I was just trying to make it through without bawling my eyes out.
I have never before seen that throat-grabbing sensation expressed in a poem!
You felt it too at the wedding you’ve been describing, eh Gaby?
the last line
is so inclusive
Thanks Jim. I did feel that all the guests, including me, were getting choked up—all of a sudden. It WAS magic.
a beautiful memory well captured
Thanks, Laverne! I wish you and Larry could have been there.
I cry at every wedding I attend, even if I’m just the +1. Beautiful.
I’ve been to a few where it didn’t happen, but it sure did this time.
So sweet!
Thanks, Linda!

Very nice, Kevin. You made me see the moment.
Thanks, Bill!
Sweet, haunting, and beautiful– all created with such a short poem!
Thanks Karen!
Sometimes I feel like I’m writing hundreds of stanzas for what you do in one! Great job, Kevin!
What a lovely compliment, Sam! Thank you so much.
Weddings make me tear up, but this one must have been something else.
It definitely was.
