Edward Ibeh Poet Rhyme

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!

K. Parker March 14, 2023 at 2:33 PM 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.

Darlene De Beaulieu March 12, 2023 at 12:07 PM 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. Darlene De Beaulieu March 13, 2023 at 10:10 AM Hello Edward, I hope you have a great day.
