Hello!
For the poetry prompt today, the challenge is to take a funny phrase overheard in conversation and use it to inspire a poem. Back in undergrad we had a "quote of the week" where we wrote exactly that, and I still remember a few funny ones. So I used one of those lines as inspiration for this poem. Also, being asexual I wanted to play with the idea of setting up a situation where something NSFW could happen, but have it actually be something innocent or sweet as this was the context for the line that I picked. Enjoy!
With Someone
In the bathroom it's more fun when you're with someone
Why stop the conversation? We can talk while we do business.
In the changeroom it's more fun when you're with someone
The blue sweater or the green? I need your opinion.
In the restaurant's back booth it's more fun when you're with someone
Sharing our secrets over a good meal.
Sitting in the back of the car it's more fun when you're with someone
Drinking hot chocolate while we watch the snow fall.
In the back ally it's more fun when you're with someone
Much less likely to get mugged if you travel in groups.
Thanks for reading!
