Marshmallow on my Face

               by LeahG

 

I was sitting in the living room with the windows open,

I could feel the cool breeze blowing by me.

I felt the urge to be outside,

I felt the urge to roast marshmallows.

My brother decided he wanted to come with me.

As we tromped through a dark maze of woods,

we found branch after branch,

the start to start our fire.

The flames burned high as we speared our

soft, white, sugary victims.

As they entered the flames,

their skin began to bubble, expand, and change color.

My brother’s marshmallow burst into flames!

His stick is suddenly being swung through the air.

“Swish, swish,” is all I hear as the stick goes flying past me.

Suffocating the flames was not working.

Whack. Burning Marshmallow, meet my forehead.

Hot gooey sugar bubbled on my face

as I started to scream.

Here comes mom to the rescue,

Dashing across the yard to save me.

I love the line "Burning Marshmallow, meet my forehead"
I can actually see this happening between you & your family.

I like how you described the reaction of your brother when his marshmallow was on fire because it created a good visual picture in my mind of his swinging the stick around and then the marshmallow getting on you.

The way you describe the marshmallow in the beginning and how it changed through out the poem was very descriptive. Good Job!

I liked the metaphor of the cooking marshmallows being sugary victims.

Good moment to write about simple enough and sounds like you remember it perfectly.

Ouch, hot gooey sugar bubbled on my face, that gives a very good picture in my mind.

I liked how you gave the marshmallow skin, it made it more visual for me when it started to burn.

marshmallows are friends. Not victims. Nice memory and exquisite choice of sincere adjectives.

The description in the middle and the end is great! I could totally see that marshmallow flying through the air to smack you in the forehead!
