POEMS EXAMPLES & HOW TO WRITE & ILLUSTRATE

Verse 866 Word Portrait of Keith
by Angela Lansbury
(version 6)

Tall. Tee-shirt’s creased and hanging out
He works unseen - he’s not a lout
With brains as sharp as you and me
Quiet. Eats well. Well paid - I.T.
His conversation’s very smart.
A family man - a good heart.
To see his skills is not so hard -
Trust me, dear friends, he wins at cards.
-ends-

There is no doubt that writing a wedding speech is a difficult and stressful task for most of us. Thanks for sharing these useful tips. To make it light, I think, you can choose something that is really funny but not offensive.
