FFfAW-Week of 10-06-2015
Posted on October 6, 2015 by Priceless Joy
A NIGHT OUT
So excited, can’t sit still
So happy to be here with Bill
The first anniversary date
With my soul mate
A show, live theatre
There isn’t anything neater
Squeezing past knees and bags
Perfume smells, nose gags
Coughs and sneezes
And lemon squeezes
Coats and hats and many a shuffle
Settling down, quietening the
kerfuffle
The lights slowly dim
The band begins to strum
Quietly leading to the anticipated
entrance
Many eyes rapt in a collective trance
Feet start stomping
Hands clapping
Seats rocking
Bodies swaying
In time to the rhythm
No boredom
In this auditorium.
Interval /Intermission
Chocolate ice cream
Or vanilla
Or strawberry ripple
In a plastic tub
Licked with relish amongst the hubbub
No time to read the programme
A deep breath to fill the diaphragm
All too soon, the final bows
The curtain call, the encore
Two hours of sheer delight
A wonderful, fantastic night.
How great it seems to be in love and in that place with Bill. Everything matters, and everything has an air of magic, even the little things that others might overlook. :D :D :D I really like your take of this prompt. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful poem! I like rhyming poetry. I love your take to the prompt. Very nice!! Thank you for your participation!
ReplyDeleteReally nice rhyming poem. I like the flow of it. :)
ReplyDeleteThe rhythm of this poem speeds along like a wonderful night out when time seems to fly and is over too soon. My favorite part is the description of getting seated -- I hate climbing over people in crowded theaters which is why I always go for an aisle seat if possible. I'd rather let them climb over me.
ReplyDeleteOh so cool. Love your poetry!
ReplyDeleteThis week I'm out of the flash fiction run - seems real life has called. Plumbing issues and such will silence the muse. :)
