Lonesome Honeymoon Poem by Kim Barney
Lonesome Honeymoon
They met upon a starry night
and quickly fell in love.
Their future seemed so very bright
beneath those stars above.
But with the wedding drawing near,
her passion she forgot,
and to the bridegroom she made clear
she wouldn't tie the knot.
He sailed that morning with the sun;
you'd think he should have known:
The honeymoon's not very fun
when you are all alone.
A brilliant narration of a poignant and interesting love story. Your former student is one of a kind. If I were him I would have charged all the expenses needed for the preparation of the wedding. I will just forego this trip and be on a cruise next time.
Fantastic rhymes and meter. Flows extremely well. As Rose Marie said, sad but entertaining. Five stars.
Thanks so much, Belle. Your comment is truly appreciated. Not many people have commented on this.
Rebecca, Nosheen, Rob and Jayne, thank you for the comments. I haven't been logging in often (and I was locked out for three months) so it's hard to keep up.
Agree with Rose Marie! I appreciate the author's notes about this poem based on a true story.
Sad but that's life! Beautifully narrated. And since it's based on a true incident, it's a real eye-opening read. Reveals a lot about the unpredictability of life and human behaviour.
Ohh, A poem on the heartaches of love! .. Quite heart moving! .. And so well expressed and written! .. Definite 5 Stars! ..+++++++
