Crisp biting touches the starry night provides;
I sit inside my warm home listening
To darken spirits shoo goodbye on site.
Fireworks and gunfire ascending, exploding
Boom into the clutching cloudless steel-blue sky.
The heavens in sparkling colorful spiral flowers
And sputtering silver glittering showers
Falling slowly, burning all the whiles.
Smell of sulfur and gunpowder
Wafts through the air for miles.
My dog trembles as he listens, fearing
The repetitiously pop, pop, boom.
Leaving little room, he stays
Beside me not wanting to play,
Staring up with puppy dog eyes
In safety, while I stroke his fur to calm him.
