Now the steely gaze of a Female Cop,
(too tough to love)
will begin to soften and linger a moment longer
on the District Attorney’s back.
A newborn baby is about to be stolen, but
Mr. T is coming by,
and the gang has just touched down in
sunny Acapulco.
Now come the time slots
we welcome,
the twists and turning points.
The evil twin.
We stay tuned to the changing seasons
and to each other, knowing
we’ll be right back.
This catchphrase, this commercial break away
from wonder.

This is my first contribution to Totally Optional Prompts – a site I discovered through Black-Eyed Susan’s – where participants are asked to write a poem based on a weekly theme. This week, in honor of Spring, the theme is “season change.”

I love this! The ending is so perfect: “this commercial break away / from wonder.” (the line break emphasizes the break)

This is so cool because you mention unordinary things like the DA’s back! Really good!

Yeah, fond memories, almost changing chanels…
I wonder which one’s the evil twin in the picture?
(only joking).

Love what you did with the prompt. It reminds me of the Alecia Keys song.
