Notes About The Poem

Amongst the Party Folk

I do not know a soul in here
              and the opposite is true.
            I crashed the damn shindig
          well disguised. I blend right in
          yucking it up with the party folk. 
         I'm hiding behind my face mask 
       and baseball cap. I'm taking it all in, 
            enjoying a salty dog cocktail
           The mood is as festive as ever!
           Everyone's dressed to impress!
        Hors d'oeuvre is making the rounds
       and I'm munching with the party folk
              The revelry is insanely loud
   and I'm whooping it up with the party folk.
          Everyone is having too much fun
                 to notice I don't belong.
            They're partying like it's 1999
          I assume until the break of dawn
            God knows for what occasion!
          Beer and wine flow unremittingly...
    and I'm drinking it up with the party folk
              The DJ is working overtime
           playing all sorts of catchy jams.
             Music is blasting and poppin'
        and I'm grooving with the party folk.
                 I'm in such swell company,
              just having the time of my life.
             The party reaches a fever pitch!
                Uh oh, here comes the cops,
         to shut the whole shindig down. Darn!

Rob Levasseur December 20, 2020 at 4:19 PM Hard to make prose appear as, look like, and sound like poetry. You've manage it quite well. Edward Ibeh December 21, 2020 at 7:04 AM Thank you very much, Rob:-)
