Wedding Dress Debacle—a poem by JD DeHart

Wisp of white, delicate flower fabric

from the 1970's, and one final remnant

of who mother was, we were incredulous

to find the family had given the dress away.

So we planned a midnight secretive search,

poring through the wares peddled at local

consignment shops, and now the rescued

part lays spread on our own mannequin.
