Caren Krutsinger Poet Dramatic Verse

Bar Fly Scenario

Luna laughed as she leave the bar.
Sheila laughs too for she is too giddy to do anything else.
In other bars, her daughters are laughing,
Leaving with men.
For they are younger
And take after their mother. 

The moon is too bright tonight Sheila thinks.
Shuddering at the impulsive thing she is about to do.
Leaving with two strange men for a private party.
She had a bad feeling about it at first.
Kept saying no, but they kept buying her drinks.

Eddie the bartender offered to take her home.
He was not even handsome.
Just a nice guy.
She did not like nice guys.
They were not dangerous enough.

Her daughters made it home in time 
To get a phone call from their father.
Have you seen your mother?
No one ever saw her again.

Panagiota Romios October 5, 2019 at 4:58 PM Not unusual in our culture of pot, shrooms, booze, etc. sex parties are big these days. One need not be a bar fly to go. Sober people have sex addictions. Lets hope whatever the addiction, they all recover, Addiction is an equal opportunity employer. All classes, colors, religions, However, on point..I liked the poem. Sorry I rattled on PR Caren Krutsinger October 6, 2019 at 3:51 AM I am glad that you did. I wrote this to remind people to be more cautious!
