Summer Splendor

Summer nights with colored  grandeur.
Summer skies red, white and blue.
Bursting, booming, blazing fire,
summer splendor born anew.

All winter long the nights are quiet.
Silver and white, deep navy blue.
Crystal air with stinging fingers,
nature silent awaits her queue.

And now this summer celebration.
A salute to Heaven in dark skies.
Hurled balls of exclamation,
announcing mankind's artful guise.

wow, I like your effort MUCH better than mine. A very good entry into the contest. Too bad she usually gives just a few wins but who knows. YOU might be it this time. I sure would consider one like this!!!
