Always

   Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

I hear this...
Had almost forgotten about Valentine's Day...

[Giulia King]

I think about Valentine's Day as just an ordinary Tuesday.... :) (forever alone lol)

[PhoenixDown]

Indeed. I hear we are more sane though.

[Giulia King]

Brace yourself. Tomorrow's a big day lol.

[PhoenixDown]

Dear God... I know. Maybe I'll just go mute tomorrow. Take a vow of silence or something. See if that helps...

[Valentine]

Just be yourself, I just jot down lines that come into my head. Keep a tablet handy, helps me. Valentine

Thank you for the advice, Kathie! But this poem is about the fact that "the girl" is never the first to be chosen. No one wants to marry her and she's never someones poem..

She waits but is not still, She speaks but is silent..well how about that ..you have incited creativity... well done you..write on

[Giulia King]

Thank you so much! :)

If she takes off the flowery blindfold, she would assume be the poet. Have you read everyone's miserable poems here? : ) (kidding, no need to block me!) LOL.
I love what you did here, so many psychological and emotional angles. Awesome!

[Giulia King]

Lol, have you read any of my poems? They all are miserable.
Thank you :)

[mercy party]

you are very welcome and i look forward to reading your next masterpiece. : )

[Giulia King]

That makes me so happy! Thank you :)

Kind of sad. Never married and never the muse of a poet. Simplicity can be beautiful when done right, which you certainly have.

Nice and short. :)

[Giulia King]

Exactly. Thank you so much! :)

[Lovecraft]

Of course, Milady! You never disappoint with your poetry. ;)

Simply amazing Gullia. It has a multitude of meanings and very deep too. I got so connected to the second line.

[Giulia King]

Exactly. I wanted the reader to really think about the meaning in just these few words. I'm happy you understand it :)
