Fireworks


A lone white star falls up, And explodes in a nova of color. It leaves a nebula of grey In a deep blue universe. A golden rocket launches from a lake into space, Vanishes into blackness, And explodes like "Challenger" In a ball of fire. A red comet with a white tail. Its icy core shatters blue, And rains down on the Earth. A shiny rope shoots up Hangs across a star To dangle a golden chandelier, Lights shiver, sizzle like bacon, fizzle out. A bouquet of green flowers burst into bloom - BOOM! A red spat of ink on black canvas, Leaves ears ringing And smoke spiders spinning in the starry night sky.

I'm a teen. I'm a Christian. I find great beauty and great ugliness in this world. I hope to make it an iota prettier with my existence.
