Missed Opportunity

Lanterns join the bright full moon
casting sparkling gold shadows,
as they pass each other on the street.
With a wide-rim hat, flowing white skirt
and a yellow bouquet,
she pretends not to see him-
handsome gentleman in a suit and hat-
passing by, with his eyes on her.

Thank you so much, Kim! I'm not sure if that is what she is looking for, but it is what I see in that image.
