Kerfuffle

A well-attended party ends; Halfway through, it went bust. A wind of change blew in A consuming cloud of dust. The music was on full blast. Attendees danced with great gusto. Suddenly, gunshots rang out! It was all fun just moments ago! A tempest of sheer terror Swept through the large crowd; A roaring kerfuffle ensued And grew increasingly loud; Some fleeing partygoers Knocked each other down like dominoes Toward the exit doors. Why someone Comes to a party armed, nobody knows! Writing Challenge - K words - Poetry Contest Sponsored by Constance La France Date written: 03/12/2023

Just brought back a memory from my past, first time sneaking to go to a club and they shoots it up. Like who comes to a club, where we all supposed to be enjoying ourselves and be armed. Thanks Edward for this poem.

Hello Edward, this incident that happened at a party , is horrible! I think someone had a grudge, with someone there and got crazy with the gun. This happens often.A party is suppose to be fun. It should not be dangerous. Blessings my friend.
