Epithalamium poem
















In the middle of the maze is another wedding
Standing in the shadow of the big wedding

In the middle of the maze is another wedding
Standing in the shadow of the big wedding
With smaller attendance and less fuss

In the middle of the maze is another wedding
Standing in the shadow of the big wedding
With smaller attendance and less fuss
Almost hidden from sight under a oak tree

In the middle of the maze is another wedding
Standing in the shadow of the big wedding
With smaller attendance and less fuss
Almost hidden from sight under a oak tree
Where a soft whisper of love carries in the breeze.

In the middle of the maze is another wedding
Standing in the shadow of the big wedding
With smaller attendance and less fuss
Almost hidden from sight under a oak tree
Where a soft whisper of love carries in the breeze.
And a couple stare at each other with love swept eyes.

I know which wedding I would rather attend.

  1. I like the structure of this poem, the way you build upon each repetition, it's very effective.
