[stylist] Five Word Challenge Poem

[Barbara Hammel]

The words were: attention, reunion, rule, light and admit.

Five Word Challenge Poem
By Barbara Hammel

I must admit that a family reunion
Was never a light affair,
For the rule of the day was to talk about--
Thus giving attention—to those not there.


Not terribly great but I can’t think how to change it.  And hey!  I got all five words in four lines!
Barbara

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. -- Carl Sandburg
