A Thousand Falling Coins

Here's my poem I wrote, I got the picture and wrote something to go with it. Questions from conferencing: 1.) This picture, the fountain seemed romantic, only connection. 2.) It wasn't really difficult to write about, I read about it all the time, plus, I have a more romantic imgination, so it wasn't all that different, it didn't take all that long either, only about 10 minuets. 3.) They were in front of the fountain.


A Thousand Falling Coins

As they walked under the light blue sky,
She thought things could never get any better.
However, she was wrong.
She knew she was wrong as he stopped her,
And then looked into her hazel brown eyes.
She was amazed as their concentration to each other went unbroken.
Not even the sound of a thousand falling coins could break their gaze.
Her heart melted as he sunk to one knee.
She gasped,
And watched a small, red, velvet box protrude from his pocket.
The world around them left them as a butterfly does his cacoon.
She saw the love in his eyes,
And knew her own were shining with love for him.
Her stomach turnned in knots,
And she barely breathed as his mouth formed the words,
"Marry me?"
It took all she had not to scream to the world,
He was barely on his feet,
When she threw herself in his armsm
Managing a just-above-a-whisper
"Yes!"
