Will I become

This post was done using a method I learned recently in an English class. You write out a list of seemingly random words and then try to make a poem out of them.  The class made a list together with people contributing words and then were supposed to write a poem of at least 10 lines from it.  The words were: canary, coal, tree, run, duck, flourish, fly, eviscerate, challenge, fireworks, annihilate, explode, treasure, eat, dream catcher, hot dog, fire truck, fuchsia, periwinkle, salmon, cobalt, and violet.  I did not use Duck, treasure, or hotdog.  I hope you enjoy the poem...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Flourish of fireworks flying,
Furious fuchsia, and violent violet,
Running in red ribbons,
and each explosion eating,
The sky, and yet, more.

Like salmon swimming in a murky stream,
Cobalt, canary yellow, fire truck red their gleam.
A challenge to the eyes,
As in annihilation each dies,

Out, in the coal black night,
A periwinkle evisceration,
Of all my thoughts, and frustrations.

A dream catcher born of lights,
To entangle the years’ nightmares and plights,


What kind of man will I become?
