The Bride Poem

• Artist: RiverDaNile
• Description: This was something I did in English class this year. I already know my teacher thinks Im disturbed and what not, so I thought that I might as well comply to his thinking, so here is what I came up with...though I know its not all that disturbing...the story behind it is. It's about a bride, who was murdered on her wedding day, by her husband to be, and her body was left out in the marsh to rot for all eternity...while the groom took off with all her family's money...

She sits and waits

At the small windowsill,

For time to move on,

And stop standing still



Her beautiful wedding dress

Stained with blood,

Her youthful and pale face,

Stained with marsh mud



No one sees her

No one seems to care

As her ghostly body stands

Waiting there.

Oh, wow-I loved the simplicity of all of it! Usually I'm a person that wouldn't but it tied together very well. It reminds me of the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. This I favored.

I like this. Kind of reminds me of the movie The Corpse Bride, though. The story behind it, I mean. But congratulations on using rhyme without making it sound forced. That's rare on this site. 5/5
