A Family Forth by David Frazier


On the Forth of July.
Firecrackers pop, sparklers ignite.
We watched the fireworks glitter in the night.
Loud bangs and booms.
He conceived a torture
Of fireworks, buy one get two free.
Tape M-80's to the fingers,
Blow them off one by one.
BANG! WEEEEE!
There goes another.
Sky rockets attached to the arms
Feet tied to cement blocks,
Light the rockets, WEEEE!
BOOM!
Arms in outer space.
You knew it was coming.
Not too much left of the victim.
Made up some “surprise stew”
For his clan.
Everyone had seconds,
It was so good.
He never had this much fun
At his family reunion.

  1. I'm trying to get these authors on summer vacations to write something for this blog. I've posted on Facebook trying to get some movement. Hope it works! This is good exposure for new authors!
