When wedding bells ring
What will you be thinking? Love,
Your ring leaves red marks.

© Sherell B., Philadelphia, PA

The author's comments:
This piece is about someone who is getting married against their will, but they're not ready to admit it. Marriage is what they're supposed to want, but no matter how hard they try to hide their unwillingness, the ring shows their true discomfort.

This was something I looked at a while ago and I added it to my favorites. Looking back at it now, I can see why I starred it. This haiku may seem very simple but it is very moving and beautiful. Especially they end, "Love, your ring leaves red marks" was very powerful. What a twist. Keep writing! I think you are a very talented writer.

This is a poem that is full of emotion. Sad and bitter. Somewhat hopeful. Or a want for there to be hope in the midst of unwillingness due to the circumstances. Congrats on the Editors' Choice for this beautiful poem.
