Crackling Firecrackers


CRACKLING FIRECRACKERS 

A dark inky sky bursts into crackles
Bang bang booms the joy of festivity 
Sparkling sound I hear like popping shackles 
Night's alive with whizz whoosh activity 

Bang bang booms the joy of festivity
The acrid smell of burning sulphur taunts
Night's alive with whizz whoosh activity 
Bright ambience where gunpowder scent haunts

The acrid smell of burning sulphur taunts
Sparkling sound I hear like popping shackles
Bright ambience where gunpowder scent haunts
A dark inky sky bursts into crackles

Everyone is doing a very nice job with these fireworks. So interesting to see how different poets take the challenge. You focused a lot on the "smell" I wanted to fit that into mine, but just did not have enough lines to do it!
