Resplendent

I don’t want him ready! I want him resplendent! (Movie Kate and Leopold) R-obbed, his attire, his soul — E-ventide broods awful choices: S-immering of melting irises, P-opulation of fattened princesses. L-eaping lords, jealous of him. E-ager, the Uncle’s tongue slick, licking the envelope — N-ettled invitation of eager straight backs . D-inner, it is him, but curiously the clock moves ahead. E-ntertaining in the end, Cinderellaesque resplendency. N-ot of their time, she presented early and almost too late. T-he bridge gapped by a lady leaping...his forever after happiness. 5/31/2020

"Cinderellaesque resplendency" -this hit me as completely brilliant, but the whole poem is actually, Kim.

"Eventide broods," "his forever after happiness," - beautiful images in your artfully crafted acrostic. Really nice work, Kim. I love acrostics.
