you may think I’m just

a puny freshman-girl

with brown hair

and hazel eyes

but I know I am more than that

I’m no fish nor fig

nor peacock nor pig

a Firework,

a Loud Outburst of Color

but when I am ready to Flash

I am a Bomb waiting to Explode,

Chaos trying to unravel,

and Pyrotechnics Popping to amaze

but when I perk up

my Fuse Ignites,

a Dance of Color emerges

I Shoot between the Stars

people watch in Awe

and gaze up at my Insanity

I Illuminate the Sky with Beauty

Spreading Spectacular Blasts

I will never stop the Glow

until the Celebration passes,

the Explosion stops,

the Fuse Burns out,

and the Sky darkens at my Flashing ends

then I start over

start over my Burst

start over my Explosion

start over my Insanity

start over my Illumination

the puny freshman-girl

with brown hair

and green eyes

is a Firework

a Loud Outburst of Color

that Dances through the Sky
