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.

"One moment she’s the air you breathe,

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.

My thoughts are almost in perfect harmony with Frantzou's. Those two stanzas really stood out to me too, especially the one about the air. Great descriptions & wonderful use of imagery. Great job.
