Poetry | Mantinades | Anthi and M
The Couple With Everything
And a Greek Goddess conspiracy
Dear Anthi and M’s virtual Greek wedding is almost here
It’s surely the most anticipated event of the year
The invitations are out, and the seating plan has been set
But I’m a tad bit flummoxed ‘coz I haven’t bought a gift yet
What do you give a couple who tell you they have everything -
that love will sustain them forever; hear their happy hearts sing?
Do you think they would be content with some of my poetry?
Maybe a Greek adonic poem of dactyls and trochees?
It would surely be easier than these bless’ed mantinada
It’s a conspiracy between Thalia and Athena!

Well, Patrick, look what you’ve done! 😜
My mantinades started out being a celebration of Anthi and M’s upcoming wedding right here in the digitally, electrically, magnetically, romantic Medium (it’s all Greek to me!) and it ended up with me accusing two Greek Goddesses of conspiring to make my life difficult! 😆
