Fireworks On Victoria Weekend

When it is the long weekend for the fireworks The fireworks begins when the sky is darken Some people gather in parks to watch fireworks Others just watch fireworks from their homes It last till the early morn When people try to sleep Noise on pets They are scared Whining Scared

We were staying at a lakeside house for week of July 4th…kaboom…kaboom…it was real. My son-in-law couldn’t go out because of his recent brain injury. Perspective! Hugs, sweet Darlene!

I would much prefer fireworks to done at an organised event. Saying that, I don't like them as they scare the animals and the bangs get bigger and louder every year. My cat is pretrifeid of them and goes of to hide. My dog may sometimes bark but luckily he don't seem to be scared of them atm. Enjoyed your poem too. Emilia : )

This is a lovely poem, infused with a celebratory spirit, Darlene! I feel for the poor pets, though. They don't understand. We once had a dog who was afraid of the loudness of the vacuum cleaner. Blessings and hugs.

I agree with Pangie - great images, Darlene. Usually we have Fourth of July fireworks here and you have described the scene perfectly even to the dogs who are so scared of the noise which applies to one of our past dogs . Nothing would comfort him. Blessings!

My cats have learned to tolerate it...but they have that look on their faces, like: is there not a better way of showing joy? Now Cat Treats is a noiseless improvement. Just a some delightful crunching. Well done, my friend. Love it.

My favorite was when we were in Germany on New Year’s Eve, topmost area of the house. Fireworks all around. Food and drinks were fantastic too… another: My grandson grabbed his dog when he ran away from fireworks in road…”oh no no no,” he says and holds on to him…lol I don’t know if he learned to be brave or not.
