Revelry

Author: Open Creative Writing Group

Don’t just invite your friends. Ask the person who weighs on your heart.
Request sunshine and an absence of wasps.
The day opens nervously.
The first thing to do is to decide what to make.
Make a list.
Gather the wee ones and bribe with secrets.
Remember matches.
The barbecue won’t light.
Panic.
People arrive.
Revelry is compulsory.
Banquet on the here and now.
The whole extravaganza begins over and over and over again.
It’s an adventure.
Keep singing.
