There's even a prize. I'll send you a ticket just like the ones in the photo Ella posted for her movie challenge today at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads.
She asked members of the writers' group, and anyone who has a favorite movie, to write a poem, either about the movie, or using the title of the movie, or quoting lines from it. I did some of those things, but I didn't use the title.
*
younger than springtime,
in love with a wonderful guy,
and this nearly was mine.
*
some enchanted morning
without any warning
you will meet a stranger:
you will be in danger
despite the crowded room.
two hundred and one
pounds of fun
was my great big honey-bun
but a load of honey-bun
broke my ribs
one by one.
*
when I washed that man
right out of my hair,
who knew I’d be fined
for polluting?
it wasn’t the creme rinse
or the shampoo solution...
the environmental officer
said my voice was noise pollution.

Hee hee, clever!!
And now you've got me singing Kay ...... South Pacific was a wonderful production with the most lively toe- tapping music from Rodgers and Hammerstein. I loved it too.
I love this...and your humor especially the ending...I have polluted the environment with my voice on occasion.
Oh, I know this song! It is something to do with Paradise or Pacific...augh! I loved your take on this! Great imagery and I like how you wrote it and made it a game!
Fun!!!
Beautiful spot! I am guessing "South Pacific" is your movie.
Enjoyed this! I loved this movie, too, and now I'll be singing those songs in my head today. Nifty, fun poem. Small observation: you can almost tell the ages of folks who have responded to your work!
You are the queen of the mash-up, Kay.
Hank hasn't seen South Pacific. :)
So fun!
i love this poem AND south pacific. winning!
I haven't seen South Pacific, but I LOVE Rogers and Hammerstein. I might have to add this to my must see list, huh? The poem was a trip :)
