C aught in the act after
R emoving our clothes.
I  was absolutely, truly
M ortified I suppose.
S omehow I forgot to
O pen my eyes, to realise
N either had closed the curtains.

I loved the sense of abandonment and could also relate to the embarrassment. What a fun acrostic Jean. ; ) 7

Sometimes, I have such fun writing for contests, I don't mind if I do not get a place Viv. Like last night, going out to hear some great music, one hour drive away. I knew the joueney would also bring pleasure, and it did.

Thank you Laura. I had titled it CRIMSON before I realised that was not allowed. So, I am cheating a little in that case.

Good Acrostic, Jean; the humour of surprise. Stunning picture too. Barry

Thank you Barry. I stole the picture from Arthur Vaso's collection. I am hoping he won't mind.

Love the humor Jean. I guess I'm a little bit of a voyeur.

We live in our sense of humour ... and live more and better when we can showcase it in poems ... great ...

To live in such a happy place is bliss Probir. At work, they know to watch for the next devilment out of me. I have learned to keep a kind of cap on it. Wisdom of age. Thank you for your kind compliment.

Another real poem. One to give us all a harmless giggle. All had similar oops's. You definitely have to do a poetry book. David a fellow traveller on poetry Soup

Not so real this one David. Thank God I usually have my wits about me. Funny you should mention a poetry book. I actually did release one on Amazon , for three months, three years ago. Called.....FORTY SHADES OF SCARLET. Truly. It sold three copies.
