This is the first time I’m writing a prose poem.
I’m not even sure this is how it’s supposed to be but nonetheless I tried.
Feel free to critique. :)
The end of an era
The beginning of a new one
A promising night
The lawns extravagantly decorated
A lavish buffet with alluring delicacies
A sight, seen to be believed
Skimpily clad women
Dressed to the nines
Strutting in high heels
Attracting undivided attention
Enjoying being ogled at
The lads adjusting their ties
Unaccustomed to the formal attire
Some with their arms linked
The others hovering in groups
Breath smelling of rum and coke
Air filled with clouds of smoke
Cigarette butts scattered around
Youth crowding the dance floor
Hips swaying to the music
The high, stoned and crazies
All in the centre
Without a care in the world
Reveling in the adrenaline rush
The older lot
Seated
Catching up with long lost friends
Mulling over the past
Discussing their child’s future
The time flew by
The clock struck 12
A collective cheer
Happy New Year
Hugs and kisses
Genuine wishes
From parents, friends and lovers
Celebrating the end of an era
Contemplating the beginning of a new one.
Wow, I didn’t know you were at my party! I was the one in the blue sparkly hat.
And I was the one with a chihuahua on my lap !

Just wanted to let you know, that since I moved to a self hosted site, I lost all of my wordpress.com followers. Im sending a notice out to let you know you may not receive emails or notifications about posts I write unless you follow me again! Thank you so much and look forward to seeing you at my site!

I am not sure exactly what a prose poem is, but I liked this very much…
so keep on writing them!

Ditto. All I know is that the lines are in the natural flow of speech rather than the rhythmic structure.
Thank you LadyBlueRose. :D
Nicely done. Just curious, where are you from?

You speak very well (or write I should say) : ]
