Literary diamonds in the rough (yes, the hackneyed phrase is appropriate here)

We got this in a manuscript submitted to us on Friday. Names may have been changed to protect the illiterate.

"He picks her up takes her to New York she falls in love deep marring him spiritually"

This goes hand in hand with the one we got a few weeks ago (and I am pulling this one from my memory, so please excuse the decent grammar):

"they looked deep into each others' eyes and pronounced their marriage vowels."

Elsewhere, in a love poem:

"I still accept applications
even though there's no position currently available.
But honey,
I don't know whether you wanna be a temp
or retire with me."

My heart is breaking ...
