FIREWORKS

Glowing buds rocketed into the midnight sky,

The stalks of smoke trailed behind.

In the split second that had passed by

Blossomed brilliant flowers of all kind.

Carefully orchestrated whizzes and whirls,

Complimented the loud thundering booms.

As a fiery baton led in symphonic swirls,

Crescendos harmonized with explosive blooms.

Vibrant butterflies fluttered

Alongside swiriling bees;

Thin smoke trunks wavered and boasted their green palm trees.

Then they slowly started sprinkling down,

Showering upon upturned faces.

Withering as they dropped to the ground.

And then departed with glittering traces.

They were gone…

And silence took over the night.

Always will I remember,

That fantastic display of light.
