Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

The Beginning of the Beginning

Prom.
Crepe paper streamers
Glitter and fuss
Fancy dresses
Ridiculous prices
Stylish Tuxes.
New colors, to impress
Limo?
What?
It's not a wedding, people!
It's a dance,
though few will.
Most will rush around,
stiff in their clothes.
Holding their stomachs in.

Gershon Wolf March 23, 2018 at 11:07 AM Ah, you have pierced prom's essence to the root--(to the rote, ala Canterbury Tales Prologue)--and with the prick of your pen shown how overdone it always is...Also, "It's a dance though few will" deserves to be immortalized somewhere. Bravo, Caren! :) gw Caren Krutsinger March 23, 2018 at 11:25 AM Thank you, thank you! I feel like throwing my hands up with joy over these comments.
