2021 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 4
For the 2021 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Today’s prompt is to write a party poem.
And just like that, we're on to day four. Let's keep the poems flowing.
For today's prompt, write a party poem. It could be a poem about a party, that takes place at a party, or involves a party. Of course, birthdays and other such celebrations can be considered parties, but so can groups or individual people. Party (and poem about them) as you wish.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Party Poem:
“last night”
last night was wonderful and filled with joy
but tonight i'm just a lonely boy
wandering around with wondering thoughts
about last night's party that i've forgot
