pop

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

  1. Nice 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!

  2. Nice montage of your day out and about.

  3. Delightful series of pops. Each more expressive than the one before it.

  4. Love 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.
