"Write a poem using the words, 'bolt' and 'veil'.


Groom–nervous, pale,
right eye twitching.
Bride–second walk
down the aisle, vanilla
ice cream dress.  Less
ornate than her first
gown with its seeded
pearls, and long, lazy
train.  Music begins.
Veil of silence hushes
roomful of eager,
smiling guests.  Necks
turn as the bride strolls
gracefully toward her
groom.  His hands begin
to shake, and rivulets
of sweat bead his forehead.
The bride approaches.
The groom bolts.
