Absconding Groom

A bride-to-be I stood lone Surrounded by uncles and aunts Flowers in every nook But alas no groom Hands decorated with love Red dress ironed and perfumed All expectantly await But where is the groom?

Maybe the groom was hiding out at a bachelor party, Tahera? LOL I'd hate to think she stood him up. Great entry for Dr. Ram's new contest! Love, Carolyn
