Firecrackers

Fireworks creating, a huge celebration.
   Independence day, uniting a nation.
   Rockets zooming skyward, blazing bright.
   Exploding with spectacular, shimmering light.
   Catherine wheels whirling, sparks cascading.
   Roman candles dancing flames, gaily serenading.
   America, celebrating, the fourth of July.
   Crowds gathering, where the stars and stripes fly.
   Keeping up tradition, with a respectful manner.
   Everyone singing, the Star Spangled Banner.
   Reunions where people really belong.
   Softly singing a patriotic song.

Hello Jan, thankyou for your kind comments, they are very much appreciated. Perhaps an acrostic about the country who were the villains of all this might be a good idea. The United Kingdom i mean. Cheers. George.
