Toasted Marshmellows

Toasted Marshmellows

Fire crackles in the grate
paper bag rustles, filled with
gooey yummy marshmellows
all ready for the fire

Impaled on a long stick
and held above the blaze
flames climb higher, reaching upward
charring white to black 


The stick dips lower
the flames leap higher
marshmellows turn into infernos

A sigh, a shrug
I guess I won't be eating this one
perhaps the next one will not
have the stuffing burnt out of it
