they all lined up
all dressed to the nines
waiting to party

tea was brewing
cake just out of the oven
cooling

one gentleman in their midst
and four wanting maidens

such a fine day
filled with hope and promise
for one party.

I wanted to get out my daughter’s 20+ year old Barbies but at this late hour, it was a chore to hunt in the hot damp basement, these would have to do. The 3 straw dolls were gifts from my daughter when she was very little, the porcelain lady and gentleman were once attached to bedside lamps belonging to my grandparents some 80 years ago.Oh, and the background of course is my fan for these hot summers. I do look somewhat stylish in the Métro, I dare say.

Week 20 at Haiku Horizon and the prompt is “party”
