in darken theater
we snack on popcorn
waiting for the movie to begin
on the bus ride home
I hear the girl behind me
popping gum until the next stop
at the riverfront a man
gets down on one knee
to pop that question
- Written for dVerse Quadrille #181: Pop Goes The Quadrille
Wonderful imagery.
ReplyDeleteThank you Melissa.
DeleteNice variety and visuals. I'm glad he popped the question and not his knee. First thing that came to mind for me. I'm getting old!
ReplyDeleteHaha. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteNice montage of your day out and about.
ReplyDeleteThanks JadeLi.
DeleteDelightful series of pops. Each more expressive than the one before it.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteLovely snapshots, Arcadia!

Thank you David.
DeleteLove each of these stanzas ... when I read the line, man down on knee (because I turn 82 soon) was ready for "a knee popping" sound.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Thanks for reading.
DeleteWhat a treat! Three little stories in one poem. Beautifully done...
