This is just another fictional work that came to me...

Cellophane and Ribbon


By: Felix Perry


 


Our love is wrapped in cellophane


Tied up with a golden bow


Put up on the ledge to admire


Funny you didn’t know


 


Some offer us warm sentiments


They think our loves so grand


As it neatly sits on full display


They fail to understand


 


That cellophane and ribbon


Can hide the love’s tiny flaws


Keep our problems out of sight


Like Dorothy lost in Oz


 


Pretty paper pretty ribbons


Like Roy Orbison used to sing


Two people acting out a scene


Wearing golden wedding rings!

yo bro,

I know you were just testing to see if I'm watching you. You didn't mention that Pretty Paper was written by Willie.

Later bro, June is coming.

Dear Fee,

There is much truth in your poem. We can get lost sometimes in the external dresssings, in the activities, in the display, and we lose what truly matters. Fortunately, the inner meaning and value may be rediscovered, and then it is no longer "two people acting out a scene."

Blessings,
Sharon

FEE,
This muse was so wonderful but it is also so true many just hide behind two golden bands acting out the marriage. I loved the offering of this one.
Peace,

Great lines, Fee, which allow the reader to take that walk between the Cellophane and Ribbon, along the Yellow Brick Road! Somehow, it seems to all work out all right, so that we will end up...Somewhere Over the Rainbow!!

Enjoyed this very much!
Love, Rhonda

A heart felt write, been there done that have the paperwork to prove it. Acting as it is suppose to be. If nothing else I was a bad (in which good) example to my own children and they have good marriages with no acting involved. I learned watching my own parent's silent marriage and that surely didn't work for me. Good write for the morning thoughts. Lady J

Felix, I thought it was grand. You know, I bet it be true of so many couples. Acting out the scene, that is. Fantastic write.
