Those are really loaded words! It makes me wonder what is the poet talking about? Someone dear to the poet may face jail time and needs to make contact. Well done!

HMMM, you left me wondering about his fate. I'm not so sure about this person. I did, however, enjoy reading this wonderful contest entry and wish you good luck.

Hi Barbara;
Imagine the young, youthful offender. He has called home and left a message asking for bail - will they call back? Or will they leave him in jail for the night?

Comment from His Grayness
Very well done indeed, for this brief and restricted style of poetry. The photography is excellent and keeps the message very clear and simple as possible. I cannot offer anything to make this work any better and thank this author for a fine read! HIS GRAYNESS

Comment from BOO ghost
Appreciate the explanations via the author notes. Yep,the words open up a can of worms for questions. Could mean something different for each person. Lets explore, what does these words mean to BOO? Pondering the notion... could mean that today is my last day on planet earth and I do not realize that a fracking meteor is inbound from space and will strike me before dusk commences. i realize the odds but people do win the lottery and look at their odds. Fate. How many times can you kill a ghost? God may call me to the promised land. Purgatory on earth is hell. BOO!

Comment from Curly Girly
Lune? A lune contest?
Huh, this guy sound like a Lunatic!
....
Today's the last day,
Will he call?
Or is jail his fate?
....
Leave him to his fate.
He's a jailbird!
This is a great entry. It hints at a big story in so few words.

Hi Nicole;
I'm so glad you enjoyed this poem. I was writing about an event that hasn't happened, but I fear. When/if I receive the call that my son is in jail for selling drugs to support his habit, will I bail him out?
A big question.

Comment from Auto-Manic
Hey Mustang, usually I can pick up on things if not by the emotion of the words, then intuitively, but I was left wondering about this one, it could fit a multitude of parameters, which is something I like, but didn't quite get the overall picture...but many came to mind. Ho ho!
Congrats Mustang.

Hi AM;
this one is about 'the call' that can decide whether or not one will sit in jail over night. It could be the call from the bail bondsman or someone to bail you out.

Ahhhhh, Now it strikes a chord. I've got that call.
Thanks.

Comment from smbau
The poem creates the image of a lover giving her beloved ultimatum. Unknown whether he will call or not, one thing is for sure, he does not call, he seals his fate. In my description, I could not imagine a jail other than that of the heart in this poem.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Waiting for the jury to come back and telling of his fate is nerve-racking. Will he call or is he being taken off the prison? Time will tell. This is an excellent Lune contest entry, Patty. I wish you much luck with it! :) Sandra xx

Hi Patricia;
thank you so much for the lovely review. You, too, have a lovely weekend. I'm not doing anything more than hanging out and binge watching television.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Lune poem. Syllable count is spot on 5-3-5. The topic is about waiting for a call while time is running out and the author wonders if jail is possibly his fate and that he won't call after all.
