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.
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! ..+++++++
(cont. I also had given no gift, so I was not one whose gift was never opened nor returned by the backed-out-bride. I believe gifts are still around 15-20+ years later.
Thanks for your comments, Bri. Hmmmmmn... I may still have a gift or two from MY wedding (more than 55 years ago) that were opened but never used.
My brother's wife's daughter backed out of wedding, but the reception had been paid for (this is all hearsay) so it went on, not quite as planned. I was not invited. : (
Too bad you were not invited, Bri. You probably would have got some ice cream at the reception!
Amazing... the wild pitches that life throws at us, can sometimes still be hit out of the park, as the saying goes; I hope now he is doing well.
Thanks for the comment, Smoky. I have lost touch with him, and don't know if he ever got married or not.

A well crafted and executed poem with great rhyme and imagery. Sad yet very entertaining.
Thank you so much, Rose Marie.
