THE FORGOTTEN BRIDE
The Tenth Marquis of Ballantrae
possessed great masculinity.
While riding on the road to Perth,
encountered coach of excess girth.
A glance inside bestirred his heart,
for Lady Mead sat in that cart
with Pearl, her perspicacious cat,
whose eyes fixed like it saw a rat.
The bold Marquis smiled, tipped his Tam,
and grinned like wolf who’d seen a lamb.
The lonely Lady nodded back
while freeing curtain from its slack.
But further on, coach was too wide,
and Ballantrae had offered ride.
On horseback riding through the glen,
her love was born like egg from hen.
A marriage promise soon was made,
arrangments set and great plans laid.
Until her laird was called away
to lead an army to Calais.
When date they’d set arrived at last,
the Lady waited as time passed.
Still dressed in her white wedding gown
she glanced at Pearl, who seemed to frown.
Sad news arrived that Ballantrae
had found a bride in Normandy.
The Lady fainted at the news
and fell from terrace to the mews.
The tale is told at Mead estate
for tourists of the Lady’s fate.
And some say when the sky is right,
her appartition comes in sight.
Still waiting for her liard to wed
with naught a hint of doubt or dread.
A moment caught in timeless trance
as cat and Lady shared a glance.

MISSING GROOM
^*^
Sitin pretty
Awaitin her groom
Time flies oh where can he be
Looking at her self in the mirror
Wonder if he really like this color
Doin that last and final check as she sits
Wishin for that perfect weddin
Body stiff not to winkle the dress
Heart a fuddle
Try to ship a beat
Now thinking of what could go wrong
Mind filled with wonders
Why this
Are what about that
Ideas goin though her head
What if someone steps on the dress
And it git torn
Wonder if she will
For get her lines
Are will he
The day had come
Yet where oh where is the groom
Silence
Words unspoken
She needs to know
Is he really the one forher
^*^

“Forgotten Bride” by Jessica Allain
TOWARD A BETTER DAY
On this day that’s meant to be
a happy one for Her and He,
storm clouds swirl
up in the sky
as the bride appears
to have been left
rather high and dry.
How could he forget
this special day?
How could other plans
have gotten in the way?
Though we’ll most likely
never know reasons why,
perhaps the bride
has no reason to cry.
In fact, I suspect,
and perhaps you’ll agree,
she’s probably better off
with her cat than He,
as the storm clouds depart
and blue skies return
making way,
as they usually do,
for a much better day.
