About This Author
 Writing poetry allows me to exercise my imagination and share it with others. I strive to write for the benefit of the reader using carnival fun mirror images of my life's experiences.

| With a crown of turquoise sky, And a fiery solar ring, A Fourth of July barbeque, Greets everyone like a King. On the grill, tributes grand, Offers a sterling royal feast. Golden coins of coconut shrimp, With an orange sauce, a beast. In the incense of charcoal smoke, And a salamander broiler char, T-bone steaks sing a sizzling song, Like a lone heavy metal sitar. Then fit for a prince or princess, Comes a stately key lime pie, No finer finish of outdoor fare Could so tastefully tongue tie. With folding chairs as our thrones, We wait for evening stars so shy, Then launch a regal finale bright, Fireworks beautify the sky. As the ashen embers die down low, A sated moon declares it's late, We thank the nobles gone before, For our freedom to celebrate. 24 Lines
