The May 18, 2013 prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  isWrite a short story or poem from the point of view of a wedding bouquet. A red rose always knows if a love is true or just a pose. I live within the bride's bouquet, I watch each wedding day display of love between the bride and groom; I pray their love will last forever, but one tradition makes no sense and seems to suggest disrespect between this couple pledging their eternal love to one another. So I ask the other flowers what they think of the bride and groom rubbing the cake in the face of one another. "Weird," the white rose said to me, "a loving couple would want to waste a delicious piece of wedding cake." The pink rose just sighed and laughed, "Perhaps they think this custom will chase away the evil spirits and attract good luck and everlasting love." The other flower shrugged and in unison said, "This is the twenty-first century don't they know that wasting anything deepens their carbon footprint on this planet; are they worried more about superstition then working to make the love and marriage last beyond the honeymoon." "I don't know, I replied shedding a tear, "the cake incident suggest to me (and a red rose always knows if a love is true or just a pose) that their love is destined to crumble like the cake upon their faces." |
