    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this poem around the fourth of July, you know...Time for fireworks. I always thought the small town we lived in would be better off to donate the money spent yearly on fireworks to a more worthy cause, like the foodshelves.

    Fireplays
    Starburst light and silent explosions

    Flaming drops of fire

    Falling through a black slik sky

    Neon colors

    Drifting downwards

    Give way to clear backwash

    For falling stars and northern lights provide

    A superb late night performance

    Unequaled by all man-made attempts

    At annual night sky pageantry

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
