Like fireworks, we ignite the skies
With hopes and dreams, and how’s and why’s

As radiant lights, we guide our hearts
Through thoughts and words, we must impart

Scattering about, with a certain flair
Watching, waiting, not knowing where

Eventually falling, back to the ground
Messages sent, are quite profound

With a thundering boom, we get your attention
Oh, the OOHs and AAHs, did I forget to mention?

That fireworks are a lot like you and I
Trying hard not to fizzle, when they die

June Writing Prompt – And then we all fizzled – Day 10/30

It was quite the extravagant fuss
In fact, it was superfluous
To invite all the neighbors
To witness the labor
Then stand around and discuss

But Gina wanted it this way
All the ladies, at once, had their say
Name her Lucy, Meg or Tilly
But, oh no, never Willy
We just can’t wait for this day!

The men couldn’t stand anymore
Led their ladies right out the front door
Making one big to-do
Leaving Gina so blue
And angry at Jim, to the core

Poor Jim, he could feel the doom
As the due date did solemnly loom
Can you imagine the noise?
When they found out it was boys!
Not one, but two, baby boom!

Poor Mercedes, the dinner was late

She needed something that tasted great

Had a crazy idea

Kicked it into high gear

Served him fried cotton balls, on a plate

Charlie was lazy, as lazy can be
Loved to dawdle about the town
But Harley would have no part of it
She always thought Charlie a clown

Still, he didn’t care what Harley thought
He enjoyed doing nothing all day
Lollygagging, was his favorite sport
Yes, of course, it was Charlie’s forte

Harley decided she’d fix him good
Lit a fire, right there, in the street
Charlie took off, like a bat out of hell
The flames catching on to his seat

And that was the end of his lazy days
He would run, every time he saw Harley
Never again, would he let time waste away
Staying idle, was no longer for Charlie
