Poem
It was a beautiful day for a picnic in the park, We all thought we would stay there until dark. Just enjoying the peace of a late summer bliss, Like a departing lover engages you with a kiss! We lunched on good food, and played volleyball, And butterflies drifted by, 'til the crickets called. Such a vividly golden and relaxing summer's day, But then, orange sun was finally coming our way! My family and I gathered all of our belongings, Making a pleasant ending of our fun day longings. As we strolled and chattered, birds sang loudly, Like a peacock strutting, and preening so proudly! My family was ahead of me, and I took up the rear, Viewing scenery, while hearing them chat with one ear. But very suddenly, I felt the strangest sensation- Like being jerked, quite rapidly, to another nation! Since my voice was gone, I couldn't inform a soul, That I'd just been swallowed by a mini black hole! Darkness all around, except for a circular top view, Of marshmallow cream clouds, at the evening's debut! Laughter and butterflies and children flying kites, There never was good reason to end summer's rites! Concerning my family, I could only wish them well; Would I ever see them again? Only time would tell! Speaking of which, my watch had gotten awful slow, It was hard to move and cramped, with nowhere to go. Like a butterfly lies dreaming of freedom's escape, Or the sun whispering its warmth, to a ripening grape. Then all of a sudden, I felt one tremendous jolt, The unstable, mini black hole had begun its revolt! I was suddenly ejected, like a ball from a cannon, And relished the fun view, before journey was done. Into the park's pond, I unceremoniously splashed, Surprising many quacking ducks, whom then dashed! Where was my family? A new dawn was now breaking, Behind were regrets, which joy was fast overtaking! My family didn't believe me, not even a little bit, No proof in the corridors that have never been lit. I was officially missing-I'd been gone three weeks! I was quite famished, thin, and gaunt in the cheeks. My family made me a feast, and I soon went to bed, And the golden sun chased, until the stars had fled!
