gumdrops fall, like rain
bouncing off my umbrella
singing acapella
cotton candy threads fly by
almonds glide and hop
will they never stop
red and black liquorice strands
dance around the square
like Rogers and Astaire
that sure was some dream
think i better stay away
from sriracha and Bublé
(Prompt: Write a poem that’s no more than 50 words, but one of those words must be either umbrella, or almond.)
As a fan of acapella, I like the imagery of gumdrops singing acapella. Sweet!
Thanks, I think they’re serenading Liquorice Fred and Ginger! 🙂
I like how fun and playful this poem is. I think the rhyme helps keep things light.
Thank you very much. This was my 5 am and seemed to write itself. I do need to fix the final rhyme, so I’m open to ideas! 🙂
