Wedding Bells

.  One sunny afternoon when petals we're drifting down out of the sky.
To silk, laced cream dress they slide down
some petals glided up a veil who’d
 trailed down to her hands witch we're covered by smooth 
cloudy transparent white patterned gloves.
The bells go off as she sways down the isle,
and see's a man waiting there,
two beautiful little girls followed behind her
in little Navy dresses.
And she meets a handsome gentleman waiting
with a little boy holding a very pretty pillow,
With two very small delicate rings, in the centre perfectly.
A fat fella in a white robe standing underneath a Big flowery blossom tree.
Was holding a book and saying the honours. Everyone turned to face the bride as she beautifully tiptoed down the isle.
The Handsome Gentleman smiled as he turned to face her.
 They both now stand awkwardly listening to the fat fella.
Repeating the things he had said they go to kiss.
‘Love is the key to a better life’
After slipping on the fragile rings,
They kissed romantically as The Gentleman sways her of the ground.

For your first poem, this was definitely a beautiful work. I loved it. You've described a wedding scene with only twenty one lines. Amazing work!

However, there were couple of things I noticed instantly. For a poem, it looked cramped. Instead of having a mixture of short and long sentences for an effect, the poem had only long ones. It seemed more like a story than a poem. Moreover, you've repeated quite a few things. For example: 'Handsome gentleman'. There were also a couple of errors with punctuation, grammar and spelling, but nothing too major.

Other than that, I really liked it. It was a masterpiece for a beginner. Well done, and keep writing!

Not at all bad for your first poem. I liked it a lot. :D
Just a suggestion next time try rhyming for this exact same poem and you will see a differnce believe me.
I love the plot and about the little boy catching the pillow.
And if isle is what i think it is i think the spelling is 'aisle' but if your meaning a island then its fine. :P :D
I love it as whole new comer ;)
Looking forward to reading more :P :D

Wow, this is a really nice poem, and a nice way to describe the wedding ceremony. :D I really like it how you call the priest a "fat fella", it's funny. xDDD But hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, why do they stand AWKWARDLY listening to the priest? what is awkward about it? Sorry, seems like I kinda didn't understand that part. and hmmmm, how come the rings are so fragile?

Still, although I got confused by some details, I really like the poem, great job

Willow C. Here to reveiw. I apologize in advance.

First off the the seperation is a little off-putting. A lot of writers don't know this, but presentation is a very important part of writing. The way a peice is seperated can change how the passage is read and how it appeals to the eye. No one wants
To look
Like
This.
But it's important to keep things rhythmically seperated so that it emphasizes the right words and parts and makes long mellow descriptions easy on the brain. It's always good to use many stanzas even in such a short piece.

Next, certain words are poison to peoms. Such as "which". In a poem giving a delicate, thoughtful description, "which" is like arsenic. It makes you sound like you don't know what to write next, and you don't have a clue on which contraction you should use. So, "burn the witch! Burn her!"

Other than that it was a good poem, very descriptive and thoughtful. Never under estimate the power of style and icing on the cake. How it looks is very important to how the reader reads it, and if they read it.

Peace out, Willow C.

OK, so my best friend is getting married this weekend, and I am super gushy right now, and I just- GUH.

So I loved that you made "The Handsome Gentleman" his actual title. It turns him from being any old handsome guy to THE Handsome Guy. So cute. UGH. I CAN'T-

Crying, brb.
