Day 17
Today’s prompt to write a Pop Culture poem. Did you know it was also National Library Week? Yeah two lovers poetry and libraries uhmm I wonder what today’s poem will be? <smiles>
Pop Culture On Loan
This is not The Philosophy of Andy Warhol
or a Zombie Apocalypse.
Card catalogues, a thing of the past
you won’t need to crack The Da Vinci Code
to find Where the Girls Are
or understand what Feminism and Pop Culture
are about. You might try The Hunger Games
to understand all that, but don’t read it at Twilight
with the lights off, or Alone.
If music is more your thing
there is High Fidelity
though our LPs are now CDs and MP3s.
You’ll need a card to check out Steve Jobs,
but a membership to Fight Club
is not required. We won’t even mind
that you use a PC to play Candy Crush.
Remember in this Fast Food Nation
of Freakonomics
and Bossy Pants
there are always The Perks of Being a Wallflower
at your public library. The magic we want to see
in the stacks is Harry Potter the College Years.

This poem was very fun to read! It reminds me of a game I use to play with my elementary students (3rd & 4th graders) during my mentor program. I asked them to give me an adjective, noun, preposition, color, etc. for a short, comical story. I plugged in their answers while reading the story out loud. We LOVED that game! Great poem and clever title, Delaina 🙂
Thanks Martice! I am glad you liked it and that it brought back such a fun memory for you. Have a splendid day!
very insightful.
Loved it..
Thanks Mom, just having a bit of fun.
