Before the Darkest Fall

The little sails like paper boats do watch the rocket skies of brazen hue drink scotch. The whir of helicopter days surround those tower twins, so strong, with lively sound. They take for granted torch that won’t go out but they forget to look inside and doubt. Those happy times before the sky turned ash were filled with shooting stars and mermaid splash. The window stars, not one by one, but all, do crash in September, its darkest fall. Remember well, those freedom hues of past, the clouds of jellyfish, we had a blast. 5/20/2021 Rhyming Couplets Janice Canerdy *Fireworks resemble jellyfish with tentacles

Terrific, Kim... That first couplet could be added on to the next anniversary edition of 'The Great Gatsby,' methinks. ~ Jay

Love that you have a contest. I loved when I visited Germany, was there on New Year’s Eve. Everyone in the villages shooting off fireworks. What a cool sight!
