Miss Havisham's Wedding Dress

Lace
Flimsy
Floats on air
Like yesterday’s
Dreams

Sad
Broken
Mourning love
Alone bereft
Lost

I guess the dream came and went, at least that's what I find in your verse. You sure pull opposites together in this amazing verse. Nice write and I do enjoy your kind visits.

great take on the picture....love it!! Well I do a little art and one of the first artist that I admired was andrew Wyeth. His father was NC wyeth who was a famous illustration artist. His works are very famous in America...Andrew died this last year I believe, he was up in years. I have several of his books.

Incredible, Jack! You have described so eloquently the dress Miss Havisham saved throughout her life. What a brilliant take on the contest. I hope the sponsor has read Dickens' "Great Expectations." Surely, this is a winner in my book. Love, Carolyn
