New Poem for 2020
They said meet us at the chapel
I came when they asked, they were not
Only a scrawny little lass
She smiled at me, that was my end
I twisted the Knob, chapel gate
Oh, it'll be closed 'til next week
She came a bit closer to me
My body told me I'd had it
Like changing the subject. I tried
Nothing else I twisted again
Of no help we walked down the street
Chatting my Muse gave words to me
Six months later I turned the Knob
She was waiting in Wedding Dress

- NOTE: I hope to be forgiven as I posted late with Magaly so I'm trying early this time. My Sabbatical will be ending this week. I hope to return comments better. And to boar with a 'short' rundown of my time away. Magaly is at https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/2020/01/writers-pantry-2-storms-and-stones-and.html?m=1 this week.
- Although this story poem is made up in a way it is similar to the way Mrs. Jim and I met. I wasn't looking for a wife but she was waiting, having been told by my roommate that "Jim might come."
- I wanted to write a First for 2020 for the Writer's Pantry even though I am still on Sabbatical.

Sweet! The fictional tale, and

I am glad the future Mrs Jim was waiting - the beginning of magic!

"She smiled at me, that was my end" in that first moment, the first look. I also like the "twisted" and "turned," and yet the path led straight to her.
What a wonderful love-story.
Yes, a true love story. Wonderful.
haha Sweet!
Lovely, sweet and romantic!
Sigh...such a sweet poem
A poem with a happy ending! Thanks for this, Jim.
Love the picture—such a stunning sky—and the words left me smiling. I can see it happening, like in a movie... fast forwarding towards the unnavigable ever after.
Greetings! Had no idea your sabbitical included a trip of this magnitude! How wonderful. Full of romance I gather from this poem .....
Very sweet, very meet cute.
