No Theme Thursday - Poetry

Marrying a Stranger

Marrying a Stranger

A royal wedding
A royal bride
The prince so handsome
Standing at her side

May they be happy
May their love grow
Marrying a stranger
Is not easy, you know

  1. This is so nice, you certainly have a way with words! It seems to be the perfect introduction to a chapter in my story in the (far) future. I say far, as I haven’t been able to get my act together due to all sorts of painkillers I have to take since my car accident 7 months ago… I will ask you permission to use it when the time comes, of course quoting it as yours!

    1. That’s what I wondered, too, Allan. I was reading about Henry VII and his arranged marriage to Elizabeth of York and how that eventually became a love-match.

      I hope you have a happy Tuesday, too!

  2. It is a very nice poem. Those arranged marriages must have been complicated. When I was in India on a business trip I talked to a young coworker who was going to be in an arranged marriage. He was not happy. I told him that in Texas we don’t have arranged marriages and he said that he wanted to move here.

    1. Thank you, Thomas. I’ve wondered for a long time about arranged marriages, too. I was reading about Henry VII and how his arranged marriage with Elizabeth of York became a love-match.

      That’s interesting about your trip to India and the conversation you had with the coworker. I hope he ended up happy.

      1. It’s called “Indian Matchmaking” on Netflix. I worked/lived in India for nine months and during that time I met quite a few couples who were married through ‘match making.’ Surprisingly enough, they all were happily married. Starting out as friends, falling in love then not the way so many of us do it. First lust and love, and the friendship part is so often forgotten.

  3. Welcome to the festivities, Kymber! Very glad to have you join! I love the poem, it is quite a fantastic piece! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š Thank you!

          1. I already have this Thursday’s post scheduled. Over 20 images to choose from. Hopefully at least a couple good ones! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

            1. I’m just saying ๐Ÿ˜‰
              In all seriousness though, whatever works for you.
              I tease, but truly, I am grateful that you have joined us and enjoy it. That’s all I care about.
