A Pantoum Poem

I was in no mood to write seriously this morning, as I was EXHAUSTED after our wild weekend. :) So here is a silly poem. Hopefully I'll have more intellectual pieces to share later on this week!


Progressive politics in the living room
House party drinks downed lightning speed
Obama gives us hope from doom
More wine, I chuckle, that’s what we need.

House party drinks downed lightning speed
New friends mix and mingle with old
More wine, I chuckle, that’s what we need
The Kennedys rock, we are again told.

New friends mix and mingle with old
We look to the next party place
The Kennedys rock, we are again told.
Inebriation shines in my face.

We look to the next party place
Kris invites us in for Long Island iced teas
Inebriation shines in my face
The sun sets behind the trees.

Kris invites us in for Long Island iced teas
Ali and I laugh wildly at small joys
The sun sets behind the trees
Our chatter increases in noise.

Ali and I laugh wildly at small joys
We hit up Whitetails to dance
Our chatter increases in noise
The night is left up to chance.

We hit up Whitetails to dance
Obama gives us hope from doom
The night is left up to chance
Progressive politics in the living room.

Love it Erin! Where is that falling on the shrub part? ... or the piggyback endo? Sorry, had to mention it. I laughed most wildly during those moments! :) Great fun & the Kennedys Rock!
