The Popcorn in Us
11/14/2010
'Go out on a limb'
Bear the heat
and expand
pop pop pop!
Let the ideas out,
plain or flavored hot.
pop pop pop!
Chew it and have some fun
like how you deal with some.
pop pop pop!
Identical popcorns, found one?
We’re one of a kind that’s why.
pop pop pop!
Ready the popcorn
for the movie of our lives.
pop pop pop!
How’s the movie show?
Plain? Salted? Buttered?
pop pop pop!

Clever! Cheerful in its way too. How can popcorn not be?
Thanks for a fine Poets Rally contribution. Hope you are enjoying yourself.

Hi. I just wanted you to know that I have nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award. There’s no pressure to accept, but I think your poetry and blog are pretty special, and thought you deserved an award for all your effort! If you’ve already received this award, then pay no heed to this kudos. 😉 Thanks and congratulations!

Wow that would be my 15th Versatile Blogger Award! I received it last March 17 and would gladly add this one. Thank you so much 🙂

Sounds like popcorn heaven with so many flavors represented. A really light and fluffy poem, simply delicious! Now where did I put my popcorn popper?
03/30/2011 at 1:26 PM
Glad that you taste it! Make some more, enjoy, and smile! 🙂
03/30/2011 at 4:00 AM
Lol, buttered for me please 🙂 and movie by your choice … Lovely!
03/30/2011 at 7:01 AM
Thank you Blaga! My favorite movie is Life is Beautiful — enjoy it with your buttered popcorn 🙂
03/30/2011 at 12:18 PM
I LOVE that movie, spoon! But it is hard to find people in this area who appreciate foreign films. Such a great movie and so poignant. 🙂 Nice to know there are other fans of it out there.
03/30/2011 at 1:22 PM
The movie made me laugh loud, cry silently, and appreciate people enthusiastically.
I smile too each time I remember Roberto Benigni walked over the chairs and people to receive his Oscar Award for Best Actor in 1999.
Wishing you more laughters! 🙂

Girls I love that movie too and the popcorn was the best ever 🙂 Funny you are! Have a great day/night/!
03/30/2011 at 1:55 PM
And you made me smile so sweet. Life is beautiful indeed! Hugs to you 🙂

I love the popcorn theme and likening it to life’s decisions, flavours, just getting in there and getting on with things! At least that’s what I take from it … love it, and love the graphic! 🙂
03/30/2011 at 6:58 AM
Thank you! Yes, we can be more than corn kernel!
One of my kiddos glued those popcorn. Blessings to you 🙂
03/29/2011 at 3:42 AM
Lovely piece this….holds for life too not just pop pop for the movies…My mouth’s watring for some chocolate coated ones.
03/29/2011 at 5:28 AM
Yes, it’s for life… Go grab one and enjoy one of life’s simple pleasure! 🙂
03/29/2011 at 2:09 AM

I think I’m more of the chilli pepper type when it comes to popcorn though.. like lots of spice 😉 a delicious poem.. thanks for sharing!

hahaha good one! i’m watching Don Juan de Marco while eating Barbeque flavored pop corn right now hahaha! pop pop pop! haha!
03/27/2011 at 8:23 PM
Earlier the kiddos and I ate strawberry cheesecake flavored popcorn. Flavored popcorn are nice but oftentimes I missed the plain salted ones — just like life, missing the ordinary wonderful things so I always ended finding and reliving it anyway 🙂
03/27/2011 at 8:25 PM
yeah i agree. i have a lot of popcorn here hehehe.
03/27/2011 at 8:34 PM
I love the way you are popping happily! Enjoy! 🙂
03/27/2011 at 8:35 PM

03/27/2011 at 3:03 AM

03/27/2011 at 2:21 AM

03/27/2011 at 9:25 AM
Thank you for that gift of smile! There’s not much dill pickle in here but the first time we tasted it we laughed so hard with ‘sour faces’. Enjoy your day! 🙂

The repetition of “pop pop pop” is really effective. A great poem bendedspoon, I really enjoyed it. Only problem is I now want some popcorn.

Thank you! I like the sound so much like I like Thingy! 🙂
11/15/2010 at 1:05 PM
Haha cute! i like the plain and salted one..
11/15/2010 at 1:27 PM
Chef Tony came up with so many flavors and I tasted some like green tea, four cheese,etc. but at the end of the day my taste bud looks for plain with a bit of salt. hmm do i sense an excuse to chomp non-stop?
🙂
11/15/2010 at 11:41 AM
Nice 🙂
I never thought of Popcorn this way before (now I’ll think of you every time I eat some. lol)
Here you go, making me think again 🙂
Keep the flavors coming. Loving the inspiration.
bless you,
ann
11/15/2010 at 1:15 PM
Ann your popping in here definitely adds flavor!
Don’t hesitate to add any popcorn thoughts
when it pop up. Thanks a lot!
🙂
11/14/2010 at 8:54 PM
This was so cute…and ideas do feel like pop corn popping in your mind!
11/14/2010 at 9:51 PM
Thank you for appreciating!
I just let it out
no matter how silly it seems
hoping that somebody needs
a bit of 🙂 moment.
11/14/2010 at 11:38 AM
You are just too much fun! I think when I was young, I used to live on popcorn. Maybe that’s what’s wrong with me? haha! Enjoy yours and I enjoy you! You always keep things popping around here!
11/14/2010 at 3:12 PM
Thanks Deb!
I don’t know how long my relationship with popcorn will go. I’m like that with food — I crave, crave and crave then I no longer want it. I am sure it will come to an end so I appreciate the pop pop pop while at it!
🙂
11/14/2010 at 6:01 AM
I am not a popcorn person ( for consumption that is) but I do feel like popcorn in myself. I do.
11/14/2010 at 8:56 AM
I know how you expand within
with the heat you’ve gone through.
Your courage inspires so many.
Keep on inspiring.
🙂
11/14/2010 at 1:33 AM
Oh, I know I should say plain…but I LOVE salted and buttered! Pop Pop Pop 🙂
11/14/2010 at 8:50 AM
ahaha!
Can’t resist popping.
🙂
