Funny - made me laugh and I was there all the way along side for the ride. Thank you for the humor and also that you painted a beautiful picture with the words. I really enjoyed your "The Flower Girl" poem. Good luck in the contest. Fonda

Many thanks. So glad you enjoyed it.
Comment from Rene Ravensdale
That's really good, although the rhyming did not hold till the end, I feel that the bridesmaids' emotions was strong enough to cover for that!
Simple, easy, free, no restrains in the words.
Thanks for sharing,
Keep on the writing !

Oh no! This is such a cute poem. Always a flower girl, never a bride (not yet anyway). The image is gorgeous. Your poem gives a new perspective on being in a wedding party. I think little girls like it, though. Good luck in the contest with this fun write. Marilyn

How fun and delightful!! :) I have to say that all the flower girls I've ever known have been really little girls, but I suppose that is different in different parts of the country and different cultures...really enjoyed the offering, though!! :) ;) Well, done! :) ;) thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest! ;)

Comment from Marc Grimaldi
This certainly captures the feeling of one who is often involved in weddings, but longing to be the bride of the wedding. It's both strange and cool how the ending expresses the frustration of the flower girl. Everything seems so pleasant on the outside, but on the inside, she's tired of playing third fiddle and longs for her day. You just never know what's going on on the inside.

This speaks about a flower girl, as she has been, to her sisters and others in the family, not in thoughts perspective, as many would avoid her; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

Comment from Earl Corp
I'm confused. In your note up top it says bridesmaid, but the poem itself says flower girl. The picture actually looks like a young flower girl. Good luck in the contest.

I thought flower girl and bridesmaid were the same thing. Aren't they?
-
No. The bridesmaid serves as a best man for the bride. The flower girl is a younger girl who carries flowers ahead of the bride.

Thanks. I'll change it
