My Life, a Movie -- NaPoWriM 2022 Day Fourteen


"Boy Meets Girl"

[CAMERAS ROLE] 
(Curtains go up)

(Several occupied tables, a used setting on some, all seated have finished a meal) 

(Enter Jim, a full time 
 engineer 
and part time student )

Roommate (Mike) voice:  
   We were hoping you would come 
   we made you a plate 

Jim voice: 
   Oh Gee, thanks.  
   The prof let us go after he took roll 
   Thank you much 

Roomate's girlfriend (Pamela) voice:
   This is Arnell, I just met her tonight 
    I told her you might come 

Jim voice: 
(facing Arnell) 

   I'm glad to meet you 
   Clam Fettuccine is my favorite Italian 

(Music plays) 
   Arnell, would you like to dance this one 

(All four go onto the dance floor)
(Curtain lowers) 

[CUT!!] 

This script is not finished 
Filming has continued 
After forty-nine years 
One marriage--Jim/Arnell 
The end is not in sight 

NOTE:  The story is true.  The girl's names were changed.  Six months later Mike became Best Man at our wedding.

 - "Today’s (NaPoWriMo 2022) challenge is a fun one: write a poem that takes the form of the opening scene of the movie of your life. Does it open with a car chase? A musical number? A long scene panning across a verdant plain? You’re the director (and also the producer, the actors, the set designer, the cinematographer, and the lowly assistant that buys doughnuts for the crew) – so it’s all up to you! Ju

Happy writing!

Great idea for a prompt. I like the optimism and romance of "The end is not in sight". Beautiful.
