Cinquain



supper
for two hundred
lords, knights dignitaries
a boozy medieval feast
smashed plates

dogs bark
grabbing at food
raucous laughs greasy mouths
wine spilling over the flag stones
serfs starve

    Not only starve but have to clean up all the mess. I enjoyed this :)

    Wild decadence!
    Reminds me of these line from Rumi:

    Tonight with wine being poured
    and instruments singing among themselves,
    one thing is forbidden,
    one thing: sleep . . .
