Oct 2016
Some say a first kiss
is like a firework
so when I hear
that needle-sharp shriek
the wait for it
b o o m
of amber drizzle
in the sky
I ask you
if that’s what it’s like
and you said
‘like that, but all of the colours
and all at once.’

Explanation: To mark National Poetry Day on 6th October, I wrote 25 poems over the course of eight days, and sent one poem each to one of 25 of my Facebook friends. After some deliberation, I am now posting the poems on HP (in order of when they were written), albeit not all in one go. None of the poems are about their recipients. All feedback welcome. A link to my Facebook writing page can be found on my HP home page.
NOTE: Many of my older pieces will be removed from HP at some point in the future.
