Hired loon
soloist tunes
to turtledoves
in Central Park
for Cygnus pair
will wed today
on the island
at the pond.
Lovely bride
a sleek swan
dressed in black
red-lipsticked bill
diamond pierced
with pearl strand
encircling elegant
long curved neck.
Graceful groom
in striking white
fixates dark eyes
trumpeting love
as he glides to
her side while
fine feathered
entourage coos.

Some beautiful images in your poem. I like the idea that the bride is the one wearing black while the groom is in white.

I love the idea of a swan wedding. They are such beautiful and graceful birds, and their wedding would be a sight to behold.
