What should I include in a poem about popping bubble wrap? bubble wray?

I have to use Wallace Steven's (?) "13 ways of looking at a blackbird" as a promt, meaning I have to create a rendition of that poem about popping bubble wrap. I cant think of anything I'm not a creative person. I need ideas.What should I include in a poem about popping bubble wrap?bubble wray?
try to envoke feeling and sensations in the reader. tell the reader what the bubble wrap was around how to got it and express and associated the sensation to the bubble wrap poping in your hand that is most important part. If you pop the wrap just because elaborate on the mindless poping and how you do it because it please to the sense of touch and sound.
how the sound scares little dogs? and yet is irresistible.What should I include in a poem about popping bubble wrap?bubble wray?
I'd try a diamond effect where each stanza follows the bubble wrap on some sort of journey. From a small creation it would move outward and then collapse back to its humble beginnings.

You could begin with the creation of the bubble wrap. Start with a person enjoying a soda then follow the plastic bottle through the recycling process. After it is recycled the plastic is formed into bubble wrap at a factory. Then discuss the purchaser of the bubble wrap. The items placed in the bubble wrap. Where the items go in the bubble wrap. The person enjoying the item protected by bubble wrap. Then the final destination of the wrap which is always popping the bubbles.

Among twenty packing cartons,

The only popping thing

Was the roll of bubble wrap.

I was of three minds,

Like a box

In which there are three bubble wraps.

Popping, popping bubbles all day

Popping bubble wrap instead of play

My friends call me Poppy and say I'm lazy

And with all that popping, I make them crazy

Forget them all, because I don't care

I love popping lil pouches of air

And when I die, instead of lace

Wrap me in bubble wrap and then say Grace



I never said I was Elizabeth Barret Browning. =)Tina
