Elation of Tintinnabulation
~ ~ ~
Elation of tintinnabulation sound,
around the married lovers.
The christening of their family was born today.
The groom swoops up his bride with joyous pride.
Past umbriferous familial remarks,
they took no grasp on their love-bound future,
as it was marching full speed ahead of them!
Just married bells rang on the sides of their minivan,
the imagery and sound of them, inspiring for the rest of their lifespan.

Excellent you well deserved TS for this piece 🏆🏆🏆🏆
This has a cinematic quality, like a snapshot of a perfect, fleeting moment. I could almost imagine the bride and groom laughing as the world cheers them on.
Congrats on TS!! This poem is not only visual, it is audible, great job!
A beautiful tribute to the “christening” of a new family. I liked how the imagery of the bells against the minivan connects this romantic moment and real life
Honestly, I clicked on this piece because of the attractive image. I must say that it accurately describes the content of the poem. Thank you for sharing.
This is pure joy. I love how the bells aren’t just sound here, they’re momentum. Congrats for top story 👏
"Umbriferous" Hmm...such postprandrial repartee leaves me more than propitious and mellifluous!
I echo the sentiments regarding learning a new word!!!! However this made me smile thinking of my own wedding and of my friends wedding coming up, how little you know your future but we are full of hope!
What fun to learn a new word! And it's called an onomatopoeic, to boot... oh, another new word to describe a new world lolol 🤓🤣
