Notes About The Poem

Fireworks

Fire is burning brightly,
flames cast gold shadows that 
flicker and scintillate.
Families gather as
fireworks explode in a
fabulous display of
fascinating patterns

I used to make fireworks once when I was still young, so there is no way that I would not find this poem to my liking! Apart from that, I find your Pleiades lovely, something that can be well visualized. Would be very fitting for Guy Fawkes celebrations on 5th November! Congrats on your top win! Hugs // paul

You DO know that even this Pleiades can be read as a fart one? With a bit of imagination ofc!

September 22, 2016 at 9:40 AM

Ha Ha Ha oh dear my reputation for writing poopy poems is making people look for alternative meanings - I would never have thought of that without your comment lol ... gee I will have to write a third poem at this rate on a boring subject with no windy references at all lol:-) hugs jan xx
