The Dinner Party… a poem in 24 parts

20 line poetry… repeat words odd-numbered lines

 

Invitations

 

Only asking eight

What will I do

I have more friends than that

I guess for some, the next party will do

 

parchment paper

a fountain pen

International Gourmet Feast

I so happily pen

 

a chosen wine to bring

correlating with a particular course

and someone with bring champagne

that is a matter of course

 

a nine-plated meal

with a beverage to match

hoping my table’s enough

to avoid an elbowing match

 

Hooray! Everyone has RSVP’d

so now for stage 2

the shopping list

and table plans too
