Fireworks

The smells of hot sulfur with warm air implode An effervescent sound sizzles to the ground As fantasy balloons of bright light explode Joyous squeals of delight are heard all around. An effervescent sound sizzles to the ground The loud pop way up high before the display Joyous squeals of delight are heard all around Necks are bent, fingers pointing as well that way The loud pop way up high before the display As fantasy balloons of bright light explode Necks are bent, fingers pointing as well that way The smells of hot sulfur with warm air implode. FIRST PLACE WINNER Written December 29, 2020 For Fireworks Pantoum Contest Syllables in each line - 11
