Magnets

Rock paper scissors,
popular events have seat fillers;
ten minutes in heaven,
a bingo call, legs eleven.

Sweet and sour,
rising dough needs flour;
popcorn watching a movie,
forty years celebrated with ruby.

Smiles and sorrows with nostalgia,
a new year’s resolution mantra;
feeling outside and forever looking in,
hearing that theme alongside shark’s fin.

Prophecies predict fate,
women are told to fear being late;
wolves howl at the moon,
humming just one bar of a tune.

Opposites really do attract,
cliches mock the abstract;
digestion and enzyme,
but do poems have to rhyme?
