I Do, I Don’t?

An exchange at the alter.

I do
She said to him
This, was heard by many
His response to her was, I don’t
Pardon?

My first attempt at a Cinquain style poem

This is an amusing Cinquain style poem. I wonder how he answered her 'Pardon?'

Not familiar with this poetic style & I find it helpful to get a few basic parameters in the author's notes, if you don't mind (we can all teach each other this way) . . . but I will look it up. I like the way you present the unthinkable in such a matter of fact way -- good imagination! Also, that last inquiry is a succinct reply (so unlike what we would expect -- being unexpected is a good thing in writing!)

Hello, and thank you for your kind comment. You are right, I guess I wrongfully assumed everyone on this site is poetically knowledgeable. I searched out different types of poetry styles, and I liked the simplicity of this style. The first line has only two syllables, second line, four syllables, six, eight, and the finished line two syllables again. It doesn’t rhyme but must be logicical. My best description, and I hope it helps you. Try a poem and I’ll check it out. My poem, is a bride and groom, lol
