Autumn fingers pull me inward from the day, Cooled between shadows there we can play, Green blades of pillows, Quilted patches of leaves, The sun swathes in clear blue, There wedded love amongst Autumnal trees.

Romance, who loves to nod and sing, With drowsy head and folded wing, Among the green leaves as they shake Far down within some shadowy lake, To me a painted paroquet Hath been- a most familiar bird- Taught me my alphabet to say- To lisp my very earliest word While in the wild wood I did lie, A child- with a most knowing eye. Of late, eternal Condor years So shake the very Heaven on high With tumult as they thunder by, I have no time for idle cares Through gazing on the unquiet sky. And when an hour with calmer wings Its down upon my spirit flings- That little time with lyre and rhyme To while away- forbidden things! My heart would feel to be a crime Unless it trembled with the strings. Edgar Allan Poe ...

  In this day of adversity and turmoil its good to be reminded why love prevails despite ills all. Here is poetic inspiration for today's groom and unwavering love to his bride: Stanza's To Augusta Though the day of my destiny's over, And the star of my fate hath declined, Thy soft heart refused to discover The faults which so many could find; Though thy soul with my grief was acquainted, It shrunk not to share it with me, And the love which my spirit hath painted It never hath found but in thee . Then when nature around me is smiling, The last smile which answers to mine, I do not believe it beguiling, Because it reminds me of thine; And when winds are at war with the ocean, As the breasts I believed in with me, If their billows excite an emotion, It is that they bear me from thee . Though the rock of my last hope is shivered, And its fragments are sunk in the wave, Though I feel that my soul is delivered. ...

My childhood friend Kathryn is marrying, and she asked me to read a poem at her wedding. I took to this task, at first, like an overachieving English major, yanking heavy anthologies off the shelf and leafing through physical books. Then I reverted to normalcy, typed “wedding poems good” into Google, and emailed a bunch of people to see if they had ideas I could rip off.
