Late to the Ball
at WillowManor
for the ever so demure
Tess Kincaid
a celebration of her birth
an eerie fog has blanketed
the south coast
causing the delay
of my jet on the runway
my ball gown
of pink & black
is carefully packed
ready to dance
but alas I
arrive so late
just in time
to dance with
the ghost of my date.
