April Poem a Day Challenge – NaPoWriMo #8

Prompt = Circus Act

Zazel – The First Human Cannonball

Forget the man on the flying trapeze!

I’m the woman who actually flies!

I’ll be stuffed into an enormous cannon

  set ablaze

then fly across all three rings of the circus tent!

I land in the safety net

     graceful as you please

If I’m in your town you can watch

     me

     twice a day

It’s included in your circus admission!

Be Lovely to Each Other,
