Wendy Watson Poet Pantoum

Firework Night

Flames shoot upwards reaching high
Cheeks reflect the bonfire's glow
Vibrant stars light up the sky
Whooshing, whistling firework show.

Cheeks reflect the bonfire's glow
Sparklers sizzle as they trace
Whooshing, whistling firework show
Roaring rockets start to race.

Sparklers sizzle as they trace
Vibrant stars light up the sky
Roaring rockets start to race
Flames shoot upwards reaching high.

Eric Cohen January 27, 2021 at 2:48 PM Another winner, Wendy. I agree with Nina: the "whooshing whistling" repetition of the Pantoum really works for this fireworks theme. Masterful. (Never heard of a Catherine Wheel, though). Wendy Watson February 4, 2021 at 3:43 AM Nice to hear from you again, Eric - thanks for the encouragement. They were a staple part of Guy Fawkes'night as a child but nearly always fizzled out prematurely!
