Poem

I knew two twenty-somethings who
had been soul mates since age sixteen.
One commonality that drew
them to each other was a keen
enjoyment of old movies, those
with lively song-and-dance routines.
On weekend nights they sometimes chose
a Fred and Ginger* film with scenes 
that thrilled, but Singin’ in the Rain,      
became top choice. One time when they
were watching—Don’t think I‘m insane
when I tell what transpired that day!

As unpredicted raindrops fell
and matched those on the tv screen,
the loving couple could not quell
the urge to reenact the scene.
 
Outside, quite wet, they’d morphed into
the movie’s Don and Kathy.** While 
they sang and danced, they bid adieu
reality in their own style!


*Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers—iconic dance team of the 
1930’s and 1940’s who starred in ten movies during this time

**roles played by Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds in this movie (1952)
