Thanks to: Thom; 'Ouch' is definitely the outcome. Andy; I like your modifications. Just Someone; ...until they got home from honeymoon! Lilibeth; First I thought ok to drop 'obey', then realsise it could be read as 'replace with stricter vows'. Julie; It's just a ceremonial guideline ;) Narasnook; It could mean both. Susan; I asked for that!
My first response was, what is the obedient part? Yes, yes, I'm a bit of a rebel. Deep little poem. Thank you for it. Makes my frogs seem quite silly. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
ouch.
ReplyDeleteYeah, modify the vows, why not?
ReplyDeleteYou got it!
Modify the veil
O' obedient partner
not the flamin' vows
Cool new look!
that was a nice one!
ReplyDeleteI did think of marriage vows when I first saw these three words...and "to love, honor and obey". Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteIt really hits home. All of these do today.
ReplyDeleteeasier than modifying the partner
ReplyDeletedefinitely modify the vows.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed...

thanks Larry
Thanks Larry; There are two types of obedience; one is born of respect - the other is born of fear.
ReplyDeletehmmm Stan - depends on the modifications I would think! Interesting interpretation :)
ReplyDeleteWhat narasnook said. Easier to modify the vows than the partner. Good job.
ReplyDeleteThanks to:
ReplyDeleteDee; Perhaps better to keep it simple.
Ann; Modifications usually wait till later anyway.
Ah, yes, clever outlook on things that don't work exactly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tumblewords; Nothing's made to last these days.

A very deep haiku. So many layers and the words so well used.

Thanks to:
ReplyDeleteYousei; Obey as in observe and acknowledge, rather than take orders.
