Summer Celebration

Kaleidoscopic colors burst,

illuminating velvet skies.

Warm summer air ignites a thirst.

Kaleidoscopic colors burst,

while awestruck murmurs are disbursed,

and cannon booms cause babies cries.

Kaleidoscopic colors burst,

illuminating velvet skies.

Been looking at your triolets, Kim. This one caught my eye - love the use of kaleidoscopic, such a pretty word. Great take on July 4th celebrations. Congrats on your win.

A really nice one for the fireworks picture, Kim! GREAT triolet meter and form. One tiny thing: babies' would have made it perfect! Congrats in my contest.

Thank you so much for my placement, Andrea! As I said in your blog, this was the first triolet I had written. Also, thanks for pointing out my punctuation error. I think I need a punctuation refresher course.
