Metaphor PAD 20-1

 

Explosion

 

It was an explosion

of energy, noise,

sappy pine boughs,

heat and sticky glue,

bells and balls,

ribbons and tiny toys,

snowflakes and Santas.

 

Fourteen children

made beautiful

Christmas swags.

 

No casualties.

 

But I hobbled into my home

feeling the brunt of the blast.
