I Remember When

 
I just loved watching a firework display,
to my young ears-  those loud gunfire and booms;
could feel excitement climb with each array,
smell sulphur in falling fountain like plumes.

To my young ears those loud gunfire and booms,
felt palpations from the atomic storm;
smell sulphur in falling fountain like plumes,
and stared at each wild colored floating form.

Felt palpations from the atomic storm,
could feel excitement climb with each array;
and stared at each wild colored floating form,
I just loved watching a firework display !
