My Emma

Statuesque in womanly shape
Satin soft hair waist length long
Almond eyes of hazel brown
Long lashes sweeping down
on porcelain skin and rosy cheeks
Fulsome lips of luscious pink
Glistening around white gleaming teeth
She laughs in girlish tone
deepening to a breathless sigh
Her dress a nineteen fifties frock
A stuck out skirt of polka dot
Over a netted underskirt
Strappy heels of strutting kind
Black patent bows ankle bound
Her dainty manicured hand
flashes an engagement ring
of diamonds sparkling bright
Sorry to disappoint all other men
Who look and look back again
As very soon she shall be my wife.
