Gigi Thrasher Poet Rhyme

Town Children

Behind pink and green shutters
of the bright coastal town
live the children of Banzini,
at least the ones still around.

In 2011,
a hurricane blew through;
it left behind a sea monster
with a vengeance to tend to.

A prized fisherman who once
called Banzini his home
had captured and destroyed
the only mother he had known.

So, he cursed the families of
Banzini, every last one;
their children would disintegrate
if their eyes met the sun

Behind the bright shutters
where only darkness resides
are the children of Banzini
stuck forever inside.
