Our wedding day
Beautiful pink and white
Flowers

The love we shared
Laughter we behold
The dreams we had
Recaptured on our
Twenty-year anniversary

Joy of married life
Children one big family
We envision now a reality

The joys and passions
The love grew stronger
Together we bonded

Wedding vow repeated
To love and cherish
Today and forever
We recapture this special day

I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Thanks Mark

Punctuation

Barbara, hello ! I read your poem several times and realize that is because it seems to need a little punctuation.

If I may?

Wedding vow remembered;

you are sort of starting a list so you need to signify that by this ;

Wedding vow remembered;
Our wedding day, (adding a comma makes it more logical)

Children, one big family (again the comma) add an additional space after the comma (two spaces) in poetry it just works better :)

When you say Wedding vow recapture do you mean loving and cherishing
or
… recaptured, (comma)
love and cherish

Barbara, I really hope I am helpful and in the end it is your decisions and your poetry :)
Truly,
Mark

Back

Barbara, I think this is so much more logical it is rather nice to read. You need to fix a few typos and I shall return.

Were = We ?
Twenth = Tenth ?

Cheers
