RSVP

by Maria Terezia Ferencz

she's sending out the invitations today
to the birthday party that
given the choice
you'd never attend

your 21st spent
among friends you've never met
the birthday party that
you'll never attend
but will remain at forever

wondering if she was giving
when you could attend
if she would have been
would you be here now?

thinking that
given the choice
I will not attend
either

...mmmm lip-smacking good, yet it is written well, but may be a laconic reason, a sad reason why she will stay at the 21 st birthday forever...a hint of otherworldly, no matter i like, i like. and if you're not goin', neither am i.

Leaving some unanswered questions is always a little intriguing. Nicely done lady and a wonderful write.

I like the way you were subtle in the implications so cleverly expressed in this sad, yet excellent poem- a Very very good piece of writing.
