Fireworks

We gape at the sky this Fourth of July, as rockets ignite to deal us delight, while strangers unite. I’m such a dope, it gives me hope that Nations torn can be reborn. Let God’s gifts heal our rifts, our esprit. Let’s pray we stay free. July 4, 2022 Diminished Hexaverse Poetry Contest Sponsored by Caren Krutsinger

So many things seem to divide us these days, but something simple like fireworks can bring us back together... I really enjoyed reading this one, Eric, with the 4th of July only about a month away... Really great work!

Reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. We don't know what the future holds and will issue out for our country. Sara

All this division of pitting one side against the other I believe is having the opposite effect. It is actually bringing each side closer to God. Our nation was born and freed by the war of independence. Let us celebrate and keep it that way. A Fave and a wonderful poem my friend. Blessings xxoo
