Thanks for sharing, Sally ☺️

The meter is interesting; I think the closest I've come to something similar is a little cinquain, using iambs throughout just for fun! The rapturous tone puts me in mind of a fanfare, so my ears are hearing a few variations, for the tune I am making in my mind. Organ and trumpets, I think. The purple attire is of interest too 🤩

On the second reading, I read it aloud. Then the musicality was beautifully apparent. Note to self: always read poetry out loud.
