Dinner Party Distraction

I watched the most exquisite bloom,

An object for admiring eyes,

Glide gracefully into the room

And sail upon a sea of sighs.

Resplendent in a satin gown

That matched her long cascading hair,

Rich auburn curls that trickled down

Soft flawless skin her dress laid bare.

Her beauty sparkled like a star

And stole the gaze and sideways glance

Of every man, both near and far,

Transfixed by her pure elegance.

A vision truly to behold

Of ravishing seductive style,

If only she would be so bold

To look up and return a smile.

This is a softly flowing spill of visual delights! I love rhyme & rhythm, so I'm especially taken in by the way you crafted this slow revelation as a rolling wave of sensations. I'm totally taken in by the scene you've set & I love the shy earnest wish tucked into the ending (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
