This humorous 5-7-5, A Dawn of Realizations, has the right set up and finds the newly wed in the moment of dread when he wakes up in his wedding bed. What's in this drink?

Ha!! Yeah, you're the only one that asked that, but definitely a good question...methinks something was fishy in Denmark! :) ;) Thanx for going in and taking the time to read and review this, Bill, and, especially, thank you for the smile this morning - much appreciated!! :) I'm glad you enjoyed this little nutty write -- it served it's purpose for me: a good distraction from the beginning of the week 'blues' - lol!! :) :) Here's wishing you a wonderful remainder of the weekend and lots and lots of smiles - I at least owe you a few dozen for all your animal poems! :) ;) Yvette :)

OH, NO...what a perfect topic choice for this writing prompt/humorous 5-7-5 contest. The drunken marriage fiasco! Great sense-of-humor for sure. I hope you have lots of luck in the contest.

Hahaha! Very good.

Her/his friend from the previous night (sure looks like a man's ring), is in trouble. Absolutely love the photo. Surely you found the photo before writing the poem? Otherwise finding that picture was a "gold" moment.

I hope your poem isn't autobiographical. If it is, I guess you did have too much beer. As far as learning from the mistake, it's probably too late for that.

Good luck, either way!

I don't drink, but this one literally gave me a chuckle. Reminds me of a movie on Hallmark I watched the other day...she got married in Vegas during her bridal shower getaway. Now, that's not funny, but your poem is funny...cause I can see it happening with just the right touch of alcohol (I'm a nurse and have seen worse). Well played, writer. Image, writing, presentation are all superb. Good luck in the contest.
