Popcorn

by sunnilicious


Nebraska Kernels
Air, stove or microwave pop
Explosive snacking.

Popcorn
Sea salt with avocado oil is new,
But movie theater butter is traditional,
And kettle corn is all I have in the kitchen...
Let's go with that.

Freshly popping in the microwave,
It fills the air like a county fair;
Shall no corn kernel go unpopped.

I never plan to play hot potato...
Grab hold to one or two popcorns,
Or hold on to a handful,
But don't burn up those fingertips;
Better put it all in a bowl,
And plop on the sofa to enjoy that movie.

 
 
 




NOTES: I couldn't fact check this article with microwavable popcorn bags. Also, the interesting facts didn't really carry a wow factor for me. Popcorn is just good food. Simple as it is to make or buy. So, this is just a poem submission for the 15th day of National Poetry Writing Month, April 2023.
