The Stage Was Set

The stage was set, the guests now all arrived
A bright sun shone o'er garden paths and flow'rs
The groomsmen sparred and raced about outside
Some bridesmaids danced  and laughed 'midst leafy bow'rs

Yet heard in distant realms, the rumble of Spring show'rs
Alas, cried she, dared Ze-us spoil this Day
Alack, moaned he, the gods will have their Way

Lovely rhyme royal. I have not attempted one in a long time. This one makes me yearn to try another one. I like the execution of this. It took off rapidly and did not stop abruptly, which is always a treat.

Your warm words help keep me at it, Caren.... And, yes, it's time for a rhyme royal, isn't it? I think it's particular suited to the tinkerbell and other assorted faeries in your garden!! :) gw
