Written for:  Poetic Bloomings2 – Prompt #250 – “We Are A Wild Party”
“So, in the most simplest of terms, write a “Party” poem. You may be celebrating a holiday or an anniversary. You could be writing of a “party of one” or recalling a “party line.” Or we can fete another day that we had made it through.”

When politicians have parties, are all parties invited? ~ Sara McNulty

Remember kid parties? Artful
coned hats with strings, grape
and orange soda, potato chips,
and pretzels. There were games
of musical chairs, pin the tail
on the donkey. Monkey noises–
mostly boys, whispering in groups–
mostly girls. One kid always cried
and wanted to leave. Presents
to open, and you’d better look
pleased. Main course was 
a big round cake, candles dripping
before you could blow them out.
We made wishes, and could not tell
anyone what they were. Remember
kid parties? Remember what
you wished for?
