Fireworks | Jacey Simms (10)

KABOOM!! FIZZ!! SWOOSH!!

The sound of the fireworks 

boom in the sky 

as they blast by

And in your head

They are so loud

I hear them woosh into the clouds

The pounding in my head

Makes me want to lie in bed


I cover both of my ears 

To avoid my fears

And the tears

Are flushing down my face

But the bright colors blasting 

are so incredibly everlasting

BANG!! POP!!

I can't have this dream stop


Mom tells me to step away

But i'm intrigued by the bright display

They keep yelling, "no" and "stay away"

Rockets blasting off into the night

As they disappear and break away

As the 4th of july celebrations dies and fades

So do the colors in the night

Just like my might


No more twirling and whirling

And crickling and crackling

Now it's silent in the dark night

As I fade in my mothers arms and squeeze tight

No more fireworks and sparks to brighten my days

Until next year when i will 

Be mesmerized once again 

By the POP!! In the day…
