I discovered Poetry Bus, hosted this week by Delusions of Adequacy. Might be just the thing to get me writing again! I'll fall back on a pre-written poem for this week's theme: weddings. I'll fall back even further and add "anniversary" to the wedding theme:
Hurricane Season
(To My Husband on the Occasion of Our 29th Wedding Anniversary)
About the time the last spiral bands
Of Georges fade from the sky
We’ll set our own path
You and I
As we approach a common attitude
At a latitude and longitude
Of twenty-nine
All the time continuing
Slowly to the north
And west
Toward thirty
As always
Our divergent paths
Track at different speeds
And varied intensities
With diverse priorities
The only commonality
The uncanny calm
Found within our eyes
The ability to see beyond our storms
Enough respect to weather our differences
A capacity to withstand destructive elements
For those who speculate upon our strength
Our potential for landfall
Our ability to endure
We say
Buy Spam

If I'd only known that Spam would solve my marital problems, I would have invested in the company.
Yes, yes...you need to write again!
great stuff!!
Have never had the glorious spam in reality, but have heard plenty about it.
Oh-ho-ho! What an amazing ending, so unexpected. Impossible to hear the word Spam without seeing Terry Jones in drag.
Loved this poem ... I have taken direct hits from Hurricanes Charlie, Francis and Jeanne in 2004 ... know all about those hurricane seasons ~ and how they can relate to marriage.
LOL. Muse. You must come back to us.
I didn't see the spam coming.But then no one does, do they!Good poem!
I must go buy me a tin! Though I've no other half left, so perhaps this is not the answer. LOL :)
