Mia knew all eyes would be on her as she arrived at work.
“Look!” Ari showed Mia Dan’s phone. “The ring’s so #poignant, Ava’s green, Dan’s blue.”
Mia grinned. “Really?” Dan didn’t need to answer.
“It wasn’t marrying Ava I had a problem with, just the wedding itself.” #vss365

Irish Mirror · Priest slams Shane MacGowan funeral as 'a scandal' & 'completely inappropriate''The singing of that Fairytale of New York after Holy Communion, totally out of place,' the priest said. 'The words that are used in that song and in the church showed no understanding of the sacredness of what the place is and the holiness of the mass.'

#February 2, 1861
#OTD Joseph Seamon Cotter Sr., American #Poet, #Writer, & #Community #Leader, is born.

Raised in #Louisville, #Kentucky, Joseph was one of the earliest African-American published playwrights.

His #Poems could be #Poignant:

The #Flowers take the tears of #Weeping night,
& give them to the sun for the day's #Delight.

He could also be #Clever:

What deeds have sprung from #Plow & pick!
What bankrolls from #Tomatoes!
No dainty #Crop of #Rhetoric
Can match one of #Potatoes.

My previous post was about the #Gardener Katherine White.

After she died, her husband E.B. White, #Author of #CharlottesWeb, wrote a little #Verse for their close #Friends & #Family.

To all who #Loved my lovely #Wife.
To all who spoke their #Sorrow,
I send this printed card of #Thanks
So l can face #Tomorrow.

I'd hoped to write a full reply
To each, to say #ILoveYou.
But I'll #Reveal the sticky #Truth:
There's just too many of you.

#Grief #Sorrow #Love
#Poignant
#IsntThatSweet
#Aw

#December 10, 1891
#OTD Leonie "Nelly" Sachs, #German #Poet, is born.

In 1940, she fled to #Sweden where she lived the rest of her life. She was a #Poignant #Voice for her fellow #Jews.

In #Chorus of Comforters, she wrote,

No #Herb may be #Transplanted
From #Yesterday to #Tomorrow.

The #Sage has faded in the #Cradles--
#Rosemary lost its #Scent facing the new #Dead--
Even #Wormwood was only bitter yesterday.

We are #Gardeners who have no #Flowers
& #Stand upon a shining #Star
& #Weep.
