This month, whose birth flowers are rose and honeysuckle, tends to be a time of weddings, in churches, balloons, on mountain tops, or sports fields … i.e. often in strange places. Customs vary and people add their own twist to the ordinary to make the occasion special and fun …
HE MARRIED
when I wasn’t looking
scarpered over the hill
with a Lancashire girl
to the town hall
where he banked roses 
on the side-walk
hurled white ribbons
from church steeples
tied her in satin
a length of pearls
and Victorian lace
pulled her beside him
into a red Rolls Royce
and drove to Scotland
lost in highland storms
while we hunted
the South Coast
on a trail of confetti

Hi Francine,
Not sure that elopement is anyone’s dream! But it was a fun poem to write:-)
For the health record, my preference is always alternate forms of medicine. I go for reflexology and acupuncture, both keep me on the go, and use OTC supplements as well, Curcumin, Q10, Salmon oil, etc.!
Blessings and sunny hugs,
Joanna
