Quadrille #19 – spark
De is asking us to put some “spark” in our Quadrille over at dVerse Poets Pub today
–
Ooopsie
It was the spark –
That stray remark made
In the dark while we were
Parked under the stars
With other cars watching
A show on giant screens
I didn’t mean to speak
Out loud, so the whole crowd
Could hear my deepest thoughts
I have never been on any show like that, but there are those moments when a slip of tongue is louder than intended.

I love this, Candy, especially the way the words all bump against each others’ sounds, within. Wonderful.

I just love the way you convey the embarrassment of the situation in only 44 words, Candy, I could feel a blush rising at the thought of it!

This is so sun and something I’m sure we can all relate to to a greater or lesser degree…

Awweee.. I’ve only seen this scene in movies. It’d be nice if I could try it here. 🙂 Lovely poem, Candy.

I grew up in the days of drive-in movies…there may be a few left somewhere but they’ve mostly gone out of fashion. Maybe with those speakers in the cars not as many people heard your “oopsie” as you may think! Fun, Candy!

Too bad there aren’t many drive-ins left these days.

I love the rhyming in this cute little Quadrille. Yet I’m left wondering what the too-loud remark was?

I have never been in that exact situation, but I know the feeling of dropping unguarded words into a sudden silence. I love your depiction of the situation.
