After the party I woke up on a tropical island
Second Place
Contest by Anoucheka Gangabissoon
I planned a trip to tropical island
accompanied by a group of close friends.
On way, one night we were compelled to spend
at rest house for a party that ran grand.
Sumptuous tasty food ! Each to relish.
Twelve guys with five young girls and seven boys :
Fountain of champagne with cheers ! Loud noise.
Whiskey, red wine, cocktail, mocktail : all finished.
Entertainment reached peak touching summit.
Against will, forced to drink lot turning tipsy.
Soon failed to open eyes , feeling drowsy.
Needed help to lie on bed , I admit.
As I woke up, my friends dragged me to shore.
When we arrived at island , I couldn't recollect.
Felt grateful to those who were to select
such a nice place to enchant and allure.
They told, how they carried me half sleepy.
All ridiculed me stating last night's event.
That's a part of clean fun and enjoyment.
Sea waves thrashed on beach ! Feeling so happy.
Wished to extend visit , staying alone,
for a longer period, few days more,
not only for scenic beauty but to explore
the tropical island turning each stone.
They left me on the solitary beach.
Slowly I was embowered with mist and fog.
Got alarmed on sudden howling of dogs.
Ran and ran to escape out of their reach.
Chased by dogs, tumbled, rolled and to slip !
Breathing heavy to run in hazy mist :
Had a great fall wrapping the thick bed sheet.
Woke up from the hang over and deep sleep.
