Firecracker Girl

She’s like a Chinese paper lantern,

glowing up the night;

like a bunch of lilac flowers,

purple, velvet, bright.

She’s like a thousand colors all in one,

tornado-earthquake-thunderstorm.

She trails incense on her fingers,

leaves flowers in her bed,

sleeps without pajamas on,

makes up stories in her head.

One moment she’s the air you breathe,

the next she takes your breath away,

she makes you blush, turns you pale,

runs here, runs there, yet always stays.

She makes these starbursts in your world

that you’ve never seen before.

She’s a firecracker girl.

I have a line insanely close to this one in a poem in my recently published book 'Into The Never'. It's something different when someone can make you feel this way. I like this poem. I love the imagery and your word usage.

Amazing poem! The term "Firecracker Girl" that you used went very well with this poem! She could be a sweet angel one moment, and your worst nightmare the next. Wonderful imagery and details as well! I loved it! :D

[Undying Glory]

wow this is just so vivid and cool, absolutely surreal work here in my humble opinion and i have to agree, the rhyming is really cute. considering how rarely i use the word "cute" that's certainly saying something. awesome work
