“Lilies”

Lilies

The fireworks spent. /

The promises unfulfilled. /

The day lilies bloomed.

Monday morning writing joke: “Candle”

Q.: What’s the difference between a propaganda writer and a roman candle?

A.: Depends upon how much a roman candle is selling for.

***

Three writers walk into a fireworks store. Each has $1. One buys a cherry bomb. The second buys a pack of firecrackers. The third buys a sparkler. Which one’s the poet?

A.: The one with the cherry bomb. Metaphorically, he’s trying to get the biggest bang for his buck.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Momentary”

Momentary light
paints the sky to my delight:
fireworks take flight.

Limerick: “Fireworks”

There once was man who stole fireworks
and truth be told he was quite a jerk.
He went out for a dance
with more than loins in his pants.
Then cigarette ash made him quite berserk.
