FOUNDER’S POEM
Cherry cheeks on a hot summer day -
sweet like a honeybun that’s making me stay.
Licorice treats on a dead-end street,
buttercup kisses on a cotton candy sheet.
Firework hands making me sigh,
melt me like chocolate on the Fourth of July.
Fourth
Allyson Nichols, Founding Editor
of July
