Away At a Picnic

Away at a picnic
No spoons, forks nor plates
Some rich people panic 
They think of their fate.

But the poor ones keep calm
No whines nor complain
Wash their hands, on their palms-
Big leaves, green and plain

Away at a picnic
A huge boodle fight
All seafoods for your pick
For great meal delight

A long table of foods
On banana leaves
Rich and poor feel so good
To care, love and give.

Susan Ashley Date: 7/23/2023 8:52:00 AM My dear poet friend, Len, the beautiful spirit of your poem is uplifting. I enjoyed the contrast drawn between the rich and poor, and the circumstances which brings them together. Your poetic verse, so rich in imagery, brings me to this picnic with ease and finesse. I especially enjoyed the last stanza for a grand finale to a superb poem. The use of the word "boodle" is delightful! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Login to Reply Len Gasun Date: 7/29/2023 3:32:00 AM Thank you so much for reading my poem, your uplifting comments and your warm wishes my dear poet friend Susan.
