Notes About The Poem

Entry for the Highest Bidder Had To Consider Poetry Contest: Sponsored by: Sigrid Ermine

The Contract

A contract can be signed by pen
or, by two stranger’s eyes by chance
that fleeting catch, a knowing glance
across a room of girls and men
whose status remains unstated;
unrequested, this night, one night!
Only counted the eyes’ invite
that not needed be translated;
the rut restated for a fleet
into a rollercoaster ride
of emotions; without a guide
and therefore so, not so discreet.
A ruinous calamity
will ensue come next morning rise
when answering the where the whys;
price of one night's frivolity.

My advice..Never counteract as a rule.' Contracts are most unforgiving if you fool ?
