Bursts of Light

Like shooting stars, they pierce the dark, painting the sky with bursts of light. As oohs and ahhs follow each spark, like shooting stars, they pierce the dark. Fireworks explode over the park, raining color onto the night. Like shooting stars, they pierce the dark, painting the sky with bursts of light. (Triolet) 5/25/2015

this was really nice, Emile. If it had used iambic meter, it could have been in top three! Congrats in my contest.

Thanks Andrea, I must confess that the understanding of " iambic meter" or any other meters for that fact, continues to elude me. How to emphasize certain syllables to create a desired rhythm is beyond my poor brains capabilities. I blame the fact that I had to learn English when I started school in Ontario, when I only spoke French till the age of five in New Brunswick. Emile.
