Today's word, Gimlet-eyed (which means a sharp, glancing look), was given to me by fellow
writer, Karen Kirchel. The poem is based on a true event from my
wedding. I'll explain after you read the poem.
Gimlet-eyed
My sister has all eyes upon her.
I'm proud to be her Maid of Honor
They speak their vows and say "I do"
The Rabbi says, "I pronounce you . . ."
The groom begins to lift her veil,
then turns to me; his face is pale.
He shoots a look, all gimlet-eyed,
while I lean in to kiss the bride!
My
twin sister, Julie, was my maid of honor and, at the end of the
ceremony, when the Rabbi said, "You may now kiss the bride", Julie put
her arm around my shoulder and went to kiss me!! We have it on video -
so she can't deny it! It was SO funny!!! Talk about being in the
moment!
