My father co owned a Texaco station, by day he wore a star and by night he showed them on the silver screen. He was a part time projectionist. My parents actually met at a movie theater. She was the candy girl and ran the concession stand. My first job was selling tickets. I love movies! Don't you?! So many art forms rolled into one. The magic, the escape, being entertained, enlightened, or scared, can be yours. when you get your ADMIT ONE ticket.
You can do this either way. Go to this Movie Quote site and use a quote in your poem OR you can use the title of a movie in your poem. The poem does not have to be about the movie, but it can be if you want. So, grab your popcorn, your favorite candy, a beverage and pick your movie or quote. Frankly toads, I do give a damn! And now it's time for the show!

As usual, I posted mine a day late, but I had a good time thinking of what to write. How can everyone come up with things SO FAST?!!
i'm late to the party, too, Ms. Mouse, but at least we are here.
I'm also a bit late, took me a bit to narrow down which movie I wanted to use. What a great prompt!
