Popcorn Makes Sense

The best thing about popcorn is its taste, crunchy, salty, I like mine with butter. You can buy cheesy, caramel, and sour cream just to name a few. Moving along to smell, no time to waste. Fresh popped, bagged or canned, popcorn's unique. I think it smells like a movie theater and like ball games too. The touch of popcorn? these points I have traced: it's sometimes hot, then it's warm, and then cold. It's food for comfort when I'm feeling sad (or glad), it's not "hard" to eat. About the sight of popcorn, it's two-faced. Hard, tiny orange kernels turn into white puffs it's not very pretty until it is cooked the magic is heat. What's there to hear about popcorn but haste. Listen quickly, it's sizzling, then pop, pop, pop. like a bunch of firecrackers cut down to size but don't let it burn. Now on its pedestal we have it placed, a standing ovation for this favored treat. Low in calories (just leave off the butter). to popcorn I adjourn. 8-8-18 contest: Five Senses host: Viv Wigley

This poem makes me hungry for the smell and taste of popcorn, and I have not eaten it for a long time, as it hurts my teeth. Nice imagery, for sure.

Those pieces of kernels can cause dental havoc, agreed. Thanks for the read and remarks.
