STARDUST SERENADE

The gown I wore was stitchery sown art
and you were styled in handsome tailored clothes.
First song we heard that touched our giddy hearts
we claimed as our enchanting love sung prose.

Our young fair faces wished to boldly chance
the feel our eyes both surmised as real.
How flushed my blush was when you asked to dance
and took my hand for waltzing romance zeal!

Our sweetheart tender courting days were blessed
with passionately peaked romantic songs.
Years tuned our music to medleys expressed
to sing for stars that gifted love so strong.

Time still plays gold toned notes to serenade
our stardust filled hearts living love portrayed.

Wow! I love this! It is romantic and beautiful, a wonderful story, and well written, (not that I would expect anything else!) outstanding work! Two lines at the end take this from being a brief love story to a lifelong romance. Outstanding! Thanks for sharing, CayCay! Ron

Music unlocks moments and memories that's for sure. A great read. You've woven colour, romance and emotion beautifully here and wrapped it up in 14 lines of iambic pentameter loveliness. Cheers - Gary

Oh, Cay Cay, this sweet, romantic poetic gown you have woven takes me back to a precious time of first love and all the years in between! It is beautiful and fills my heart with happy music wrapped in stardust! Such a unique take on the contest to the music of Stardust and nights of proms! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback - these happy moments. I have been absent from the soup due to an insane schedule both work and family! Best wishes for the contest. Blessings!
