A sport coat, corduroy and navy blue,
Suspended in his closet for that day,
With gray pants and a crisp white shirt, all new,
And dark pink tie – the man is unafraid.
Her dress, dark pink as well, now hangs in wait,
And small white boots lay in the box to rest.
A glass pearl necklace ready for the date,
The navy blue that complements him best.
Her petticoat, a circle white and wide,
Puffs out the picture of this groom and bride. ❤

Mystical Strings 
lovely imagery and very upbeat
Nice metrical sound.
Beautiful words. I love the last line. A shared closet has a lot of personality.
LOVE it! You’ve described the two outfits so well and it’s a delight to read that last couplet and learn they are bride and groom. Love what’s hanging here….and in sonnet form too! 🙂
I came from the sonnet linking first, and as such it’s written with ten lines instead of fourteen… hope you can add a quartet to make it complete.
Love it for Lillian’s challenge, how the wardrobe tells you a story… really nice.
Well done — immaculate really — I love how the attire in this closet could be for a hoped-for coming marriage, or to preserve a long-ago one. And they could be burial clothes. That’s to have and to hold forever!
Paints a lovely picture. (K)
