Isn’t It Romantic?

Fresh onion soup,

mother’s recipe,

builds to boil,

ladled the soup

unto two bowls,

served with drug-

store croutons

and hand-shredded

cheese; we watch

the game, slapping

the knees when a

hit is made, laughing,

wondering for a

second what it would

be like to be a pro;

we drink our soup

and talk, you

hold my hand

and wish us a

happy anniversary;

I kiss you on the neck,

that’s all we need.

Isn’t that romantic?

This is the 100 Songs Project, a 100-day writing challenge based on AFI’s 100 Years…100 Songs. Every day, I write a short poem, prose piece, or play based on, reacting to, rejecting, accepting, or doing something related to one of the songs in the top 100 list.

Please consider liking Deelaytful on Facebook. We’re doing a promotion in preparation for the 200th post in a couple of weeks. If we get 500 likes before the 200th post, I will be uploading a video of myself singing a medley of Disney Princesses songs on YouTube.
