This poem inspired by Bone’s 3 Word Wednesday.

The words are:
Funny
Remember
Theatre

each day began with drama
watching for the ram, the black
sleek lines turning into the drive as
the roar of the engine made
funny little flutters in
my throat

i watched him walk up
the pastoral path
where birds sang and
ducks waddled and
fish jumped into the air with
the gleam of the early morning
sun reflecting off their scales
and into prisms that reflected
in my hungry eyes

the swaying trees provided
a theatre for his manly grace
as he walked toward
me and the flutters in my throat
matched the beating of the duck’s wings
as they flew, startled, before
his steps

and I remember how he
looked into my eyes at the
end of the pathway and
I was happy,
happy because the drama had
just begun
