We laughed that Christmas. 

God how we laughed.


Migrant guests trapped beneath 

a twinkle-lit princess pink canopy.


Two shushing kids at camp 

after lights out and the warden’s 

final warning. Snorting,


bellies distended - undercover 

whoopee trying not to wake the dead. 

Do I miss you between conjugals? 

Hopelessly, inconsolably, yes.

    I dig it, especially the conjugals. You know this one has the feel that it can go one and elaborate and develop into more. But it does capture a moment and a feeling. I like the "whoopie". A pun?

    Very light-hearted, very fun. Loved it, Sophia!

    Hi Vigil. Thanks. That was from when I was in a long distance relationship and we didn't get together as often as we would have liked. The whoopee is the same sort as from the song... Makin Whoopee!

    Thanks Kiz, I know I don't do light-hearted very often and I didn't want everyone here to think I don't have a fun side. It's actually the one most people see. The darker things just come out in therapy...er, I mean poetry. LOL
