This work has reached the exceptional level

I didn't realize this was yours. I voted for it...river shade what a blessing in youth. Our wedding song, too, references standing beneath a tree, too.

I hope this won or at least did well. If not, keep your chin up, in my view, often the best one don't fare well. I just noticed on your page, you're a "newbie."

Welcome to Fanstory, I hope you find it at least half as rewarding as I do. There are some mighty talented folks I've found here. And frequently they're more than willing to assist. :) Carrie

vows made yesterday
Good complimentary photo. The syllable count is spot on. Good alliteration with river/romantic. Clear message that is short and simple.

What a nice 5-7-5 poem about being married under a willow tree. Sounds like someone just go married a few days ago

Vows made yesterday in the last line fills the prompt requirement of recently married. I like how the poem was a progressive statement of what led to the vows.

This is one of the more romantic & graceful poems in this contest, filled with imagery. This phrase doesn't sound right to me: "vows made" . . . the word "made" seems awkward. Other than that, your poem suggests this couple is taking an nicely untraditional approach toward their honeymoon. Great poem & good luck in the contest.

Nothing like a good picnic to start your life off on the right foot. We had an August wedding outdoors, and it was hot, but fantastic.

Excellent 5-7-5 senryu for this contest. I hope you do really well.

You paint a lovely picture of
a honey-mooning couple
enjoying a secreted meal of
"a jug of wine, a loaf of bread and" thee.
under the screening leaves of
a river willow tree. :-)
