A Bride to Be (My first Poem)

I woke up one day
I thought I'm in dream.
All the people were happy.
Nothing felt or looked the same.

The stunning birds were whistling.
Singing and chanting all around.
Giving the best of melody
Up, the skies echoed the sound.

The stars descended from their milky way,
Like the diamonds, towards earth, found a way.
Flowers and roses nicely bloomed.
They sent their scent away.

“What could be the day”? I wondered
Trying to find someone to say.
Why are women so pretty?
And men so gay?

Suddenly
I saw the moon and the sun together sway .
How could they to earth find a way?
Why are they so elegant?
“Why?” ” What a special day?!”

in chorus , on earth and in sky I heard all say
“It is the sun’s distinguished day.”
“It is the sun in her best day.”

Yah, of course , I should’ve known.
It is Freedom, in her Wedding day.

Last few words: 
Freedom is my friend in Palestine. She got married but Unfortunately I couldn't attend her wedding but with these few words. Hence comes the first poem I've ever written.

What a wonderful poet you have become.
This poem holds all the promise of what will come.
I am honored and pleased to have had the chance to watch the change occur.

this is a poem full of promise for a bright future! I hope that you shared this gift with your friend, Freedom. may I make a suggestion?

change one word in these two lines. from this:

Yah, of course , I should’ve known.
It is Freedom, in her Wedding day.

to this:

Yah, of course , I should’ve known.
It is Freedom, in her Wedding gown.

but rather keep it as it is to remember. It is now part of your poetic journey. Leave the cobblestones where they lay.

Ask Stan if that was imagery.

It's been told that being not a native has sometimes an advantade of using some fresh vocabs that nativez won't even think of them.

Although this piece has some fine qualities it shows how much you have learned, grown and accomplished since. Compare to "Slavery" which is so much more brave, original and expressive.

Credit first to you, then your Mentor Wesley and to Neopoet.
This is what I love most about this site.

cheers,

Hi Rula, I was touched by the joy of Freedom's wedding via your poem. Curious about what age you were though ☺
