How lovely you look in that perfect dress you chose rosy lips, in pout lit smile likened to love's dawn that would be heart's best day won were it my hand that held yours

Did she accept the invitation? I suspect the dress may not have been worn for very long. ;0)

Richard, Thanks for dropping by. Some of the comments struck a sadder note. As he watched her walk away hand in hand with someone else. Is the glass half full or half empty(?) -Richard

Silent One, Thank you. I think you've hit on the essence of this Tanka turned FV (had too many lines so had to change). "[ Your comment would make a better title too. Happy Saturday. -Richard
