Poem 14. THE BRIDE

Taking Body Measurements: An important process in fashion

There's once a crazy bride-to-be

Who wishes to make her wedding dress

Without anyone to let it see

She never thinks  it would be a mess!

 

Seeing a blurred, old model’s pic

She cut the fabric, sew by herself

She never measure, never fit

Never ask for anyone’s help.

 

And then the day of wedding comes

She sets  to dress herself alone

What a misfortune, what a shame

Her gown’s that tight, cannot be worn!

So she asks one of  the brides maids

To wear the gown and play like her

The wedding goes and then it ends

With the crazy bride so full of tears.

 

As the groom tastes the  sweetest kiss

Of her  new bride, they flee  and vanish.

Wow. This one sounds like a sad story in a poetic form although it is about measuring dresses or gowns of weddings. Always you come up with creative things...:)

Wow, Sami. You always come up with different interpretation. Lol
Thanks a lot

My pleasure...:)

this piece is funny yet equally sad (how could that be, i don't know. lol). it reminded me of our long tradition not to try your wedding dress otherwise the wedding will not push through. but the opposite happened in this case.
mmmm. the brides maid must be her twin sister =). even then, the groom must have realized that he's kissing the wrong girl but instead they flee..ouch naman. but i think the supposed to be bride was not also sure of marrying the guy. hence, she made an excuse about the dress.

Just like funny comedy films that the bride is wearing a veil covering her face..the wedding happened for the wrong couple. Hehe.. , perhaps another product of my exaggeration.

That's my motivation for my demo-teaching next week, Gab. I posted it here to see if I it's easy to understand because motivation should be for 5 minutes only.

I want a funnier story or poem but my topic is about "Taking Body Measurements" and I find it difficult to make a another piece of writing for it.

Thanks for sparing your time in this poem. Glad you find it funny (though equally sad). :)

i commented last night on this. kaso bago ko na post me napindot ako, nawala tuloy. lol. good luck and godbless sa demo mo!

[Dhaye]

Thanks, again. Ano kaya yung napindot mo? Hindi rin maganda ang pindot ng pindot... kasi iba ang napipindot. Lol. Napindot mo yung shut down kasi inaantok ka na non. Hehehe.

how sad ~ i knew there is a little humor on it ~ but the sad fate ~ a husband that easily got swayed ~ well it was never meant to be ~ but reality check ~ the husband should know the one he kiss was not the one, but he continued anyway and run away ~ sad really... but really good rhyme... and great poem!

Hehe. Pax, this one will be used as my motivation in my demonstration teaching...as an integration of the English subject in my TVE subject, with my topic "Taking Body Measurements". I posted it here for editing, but it seems no body is reacting on the words/lines presented.

No hidden story inside this piece. Just a bit humorous to be enjoyed by my students. I hope they can get the story easily...that's why I used so simple words.

Thanks for the R&R. :)

a good motivation na try mo na ba sa mga students mo to?

[Pax]

wala naman akong na pansin na error, and your welcome

[Dhaye]

Hindi pa nga. Sa demo ko nga pala, teachers muna students ko. Hehe. Mas madaling makaintindi yun. Pero sa pasukan, yan na gagamitin ko.

I am of the age that friends and cousins are marrying off and finding dresses.
funny and strange- thoughts of those who get all worked up over their up-coming big day.

Thanks, Ees. Glad you visit on my page. :)
