Prom Poems

Prom Night

Prom Night!...and I'm Sitting by my Phone

One Ringy Dingy and I'm...Prom Prone!

Too much Zing! in my Swing...

She Ran!...Hoof on a Wing

So, now I'm Dirty Dancing...Alone!

Prom Night

Love is below 
cause of shadows
build to leave 
above in time 
see the movement 
find peace to a hand 
show the move and smile 
lights go dim see believe 
space and defended 
help to open the bread
heads and minds behind
poor of delf defeat actions care 
dress spirit and climbs
beautiful and at passion
walk to the car

she loves her tiara and satin gown
he’s in a stiff tuxedo, feels like a clown
another mismatched couple, who will marry after prom
thinking they are in love, a small world they live on

PROM PHOTOS

Our granddaughter attended her high school Prom…
her photo was posted on-line
which led me on a hunt through our old photos 
until I found one of me at mine.

As I gazed at these two photos
50 years apart…I quietly exclaimed
how parts of our world have changed dramatically
while others remain the same.

50 years ago social media and computers
were,

Come With Me

Come with me, I'll take you to the prom.
You're my heart throb as everyone knows.
Come with me, we'll play through the night, 
And I'll be sure to twinkle your toes.

The girls will look fancy to the max.
They'll all be wearing fabrics of green.
Come with me, oh Adonis himself.
You'll be the hottest guy on the scene.

I'll

Prom

I watch whirling shadows, as lovers are hugging.
Disco lights tug at my heart like a small child.
The low punchbowl is both shallow and deep.

My fixation becomes both shallow and deep,
gazing upon alluring couples hugging.
I was always alone, even as a child.

Oh, the shadowed daydreams of a child....
A prince would kiss my hand; our love would

The Dress

It was the last year of high school and there was a lack of beaux,
But then I got an invite. Whew, that was close!
So now the Prom was coming and I was going to go!
Mom gassed up for the city, headed out with me in tow,
Big stores all hunched together on a tall and scary

Prom Knight

Miss Lee Ding met Mister Chance
When he asked her for a dance
It was not his shoes
That gave her the blues
But how did he wet her pants?

Fond Prom Memories

Ah, Prom! I remember it well
      how my excitement did swell

    Would I be asked by a girl or a boy
      or maybe an ‘undecided,’ oh joy!

The Prom

The big day arrived and no date for the prom.
      My fairy godmother came to my rescue;
         A cool suit, stylish haircut so I wouldn't boom,
            I was the hit of

Lovely Flowers In Prom

A paradise of natural nature bouquets displayed:
of yellow, orange, pink, red roses of redolent scented phase.
Lilies, tulips, daisies, daffodils and violets are of bountiful blooms

All these have enchanted scents of fresh fragrant perfumes cues;
bringing love interludes.
On the countryside, new scents of morning-glory flowers are new:
wildflowers are there with colorful shades and hues.

Lavender

Ramapo, New York, a small town
Was rural ... to say the least
Where simple folks lived a simple life
And most residents could rest in peace 

But, tonight was prom night and
The summer evening was unusually cool
As the graduating class of 1953
Gathered at their high school 

Leisurely, through the winding hamlet 
Jacky drove the only car his
