Puddles, Fizz and Bubbles

L.L. here for Random Acts of Poetry. Lifting poems from the comment box (a pastime I’ve been known to indulge before). This seemed like the perfect thing to do, since next week’s prompt encourages us to find poems in the ordinary things people say.

Of course I’ve taken liberties with your words. Dropped some. Added others. Nipped phrases, rerolled them as lines and frosted them with a title. You’ve forgiven me for such rollicky behavior in the past, so I’m trusting you’ll forgive me again, and maybe even grant a smile.

Ann’s comment on I Collect Words

“Compliment”

This poem
fizzes and sparkles,
carbonated words
bubbling up good
things... I like it!

LL’s comment on Deb’s Infuse and Coddle and Fill

"The Call"

They burst
from bedrooms,
bathrooms, where
wafts of rosemary onion
basil cinnamon vanilla
or banana greet
their rising...

nAncY’s comment on I Collect Words

“Strategy”

i think
i will
start with
a wordpuddle
and work
my way
up.

Erica’s comment on I Collect Words

“Pool”

Pour in words,
watch them splash
and sparkle in the sun,
stir them around to
get the temperature
just right...and
dive in!
