Amazing, how it seems that BOOM is a word from our childood, yet seems to have centuries of memories, Sam. I like the other words as well. Pangie xx

Hi Pangie! Fireworks was such a theme for this poem. The hardest part was choosing the phrases to describe them! And, you are so right about the timeless impact of "boom!" Thank you for your lovely compliments! Always so appreciated. Take care, my friend. Blessings and hugs!!

Thank you so much, Andrea! On the Fourth of July, in our area, the night sky and air are filled with booms both legal and outlawed! Just couldn't leave out that description! Thanks so much for your feedback. Made me smile! Blessings!!

Aren't those fireworks displays beautiful if only for a few seconds. Thanks for sharing this one with us. It made me see in my mind's eye just for a second, fireworks going off and hear the sound of oooo, ahhh, whoa, and wow. Sara K
