Mardi Gras challenge

[HarryHill]

I believe it's coming early this year, as usual just before Lent, get your poems in before Fat Tuesday at midnight.

It looks like the good times rolled on down the road. In that case, there were no winners of the Mardi Gras challenge as no one posted before the dead line, just one looser lost somewhere in time

Pancake day?

I am now utterly lost and I couldn't post anything because I still don't know when Fat Tuesday is!

She said she would meet me,
for andouille and beignets,
that dive just off Water street,
midnight
but
when I got there
the sweepers had all passed by
leaving dust and laughter
drifting t'wards Pontchartrain,
stray beads in the gutter,
and not a beignet left in the quarter
..
here's mine

After the Mardi Gras was over,
after the break of day
too many hearts were broken
by those who stayed away!
