An Amusing Poetic Royal Offer

Loosely Inspired And Submitted To The Instruction For A Feeling Challenge

By Marc OBrienPublished about 6 hours ago 1 min read

Take the car

To the bar

Frequented by many stars

Order a drink

Make time to think

About the emotion

Conjured up by the bartender’s potion

Replacing the soothing lotion

Used treating,

Subject greeting

Avoiding the truth

About mundane school chum Ruth

Suddenly, a disturbance shattered

The tranquil moment that matters

Impersonating a thoughtful rest

Wanting to confess

Explaining crying over the test

She was giving

Examining, wanting a simple living

Dialogue soon declared

Hinting towards a new affair

“I am your true muse

If you choose

And do not refuse.

So, take me home

We will not be alone

You make this call

Me or that wall

Which is listening and caring

To your sharing

As you sit there staring

Instead of looking at me

A Princess with a magical pea.”

As the frog cleared itself from the throat

All the patrons took a vote

Stating, “son, a good mattress you do need

Since the royal, just planted, the romantic seed”
