Question: Have you ever choked from the smoke of cannon fire!?
Inspired by Revelry!.

He is the man in the cannon
choices he made put him there
fuse doused in alcohol lit
and out he's shot
human cannonball
to destinations unknown
flying through the air
without a care
doesn't look back
at the one left behind
choking
from acrid smoke
of the cannon fire!.

When we make the words shudder and jump, we have written!.

Growing up, I thought it was normal to have a small cannon in your living room!. Anyone who's seen any of my answers pertaining to my dad will not be surprised to know that he used to shoot one of his 3 operational cannons on holidays!. The big one he only shot once and mom said NO MORE!. The ground shook, pictures flew off the walls and a few windows broke!.

It was glorious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
