How to Arrange a Wedding Bouquet

How to Arrange a Wedding Bouquet

by Suzie Faloon

Your wedding is in the planning stages and you want to make it special. You can make your own, using a unique wedding bouquet with an heirloom Bible or book of poetry. Perhaps you have the New Testament that your great grandfather had in World War II or the Bible your mother carried in your parents' wedding. You can arrange a wonderful wedding bouquet with a treasured book and beautiful flowers. If you use fresh flowers, you can dry the arrangement to place in a display container. If you use silk flowers, you can display it or use it as a Christmas decoration.

DarkPoetry Poem of the Day: The Soul Of Impending Doom

Above the mist of a crescent moon
It�lays in wait�and is coming soon.
Like a deadly disease without a cure
A horrid nightmare for all to endure.


We abide our time with life's desire
And await the serpent with all its fire.
The gripping fear that rides so�high
The women tremble, our children cry.


--Like the evil impression in an icy tomb,
rides the soul of�impending doom.


To technology and greed our ideals transcend
Ourselves we have plagued to the living end.
To live or die? The time has come for all to pay
Our thoughts turn to God, on our knees we pray.


The skies grow dark and the mountains shake
We huddle in horror within destiny's wake.
A searing white flash and our�eyes redden
Arise, the golden mushrooms of Armageddon!


--Like the evil impression in an icy tomb,
rides the soul of impending doom.


Had we listened to the winds�of our ways
We would still be 'round to count the days.
Our bodies now wade the festering sore
And the one called man reigns no more


--We witnessed the evil in our icy tomb
and rode the soul of impending doom!

Your Poem for July 30, 2010

Your Daily Poem logo

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I admire the devotion of committed aficianados, and Marge's poem lays it right on the line: "Without you, I would never get out of bed/
but spend my life pressing the snooze/button." How about you? Would life as you know it cease to happen without your daily infusion? (Do I dare hope poetry ever becomes that essential? :-D)

By the way, no remonstrances from grammarians, please: the title's in lower case because Marge only capitalizes the first word. 
Today's poem is
 "In praise of joe
