Best Firework Poems

I have a memory-
of going with father   to see fireworks
we brought folding chairs      and warm blankets
     it is a magical recollection
the neighbours gathered   with anticipation
it
  began

Like shooting stars, they pierce the dark,
painting the sky with bursts of light.
As oohs and ahhs follow each spark,
like shooting stars, they pierce the dark.
Fireworks explode over the park,
raining color onto the night.
Like shooting stars, they pierce the dark,
painting the sky with bursts of light....

DIWALI- FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS

Gilttery lamps, Myriad diyas and light
Illumination pan India filled with delight
Whole nation splendent like lovely bride
The zest of fest spread far and wide
From northern mountains, western sands
To eastern coasts and southern islands
The spirit of triumph of good over bad
To dispel darkness like...

I sit alone in my basement all hunkered down
My faithful dog with me
Because tonight is the night of firecrackers 
And firework, yep it’s the 4th of July.

My dog gets to wear a rap around cover
I get just my basement,
You see I am...

Fourth of July, Independence Day for the United States, and
On the news political speeches praising the nations heritage, then
Reading of the declaration in deep proud voices and joyful singing.
The country will celebrate with parades and fireworks and ceremonies,
Hanging the flag outside their homes and having...

She
Taught me
To love her
So completely
Inch by precious inch
Me   a   willing    student
Not  once    was  I  discouraged
She helped me practice night and day
With her there were no  l i m i t a...

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

It’s the fifth of November; Bonfire Night is finally here
The guy is set alight, oh how the little children cheer

Smoke billows, flames dance, tiny faces are aglow
We eat hot chestnuts; munching them with great gusto

Mummy gives me a sparkler it burns with a dazzling light
Sparks...

"If anyone asks you
how the perfect satisfaction
of all our sexual wanting
will look, lift your face
and say,
Like this."

I lift my face to you, my anyone
     my only one, my love,
And see your question
     unspoken but screamed

Color bursts upon a black night sky; dancing sparks escape.

Reds, greens, gold and blue patterns aflame; crescendo above the birds.

I watch, sky’s palette; alive with resonating bliss.

The mighty dragons which came
roaring on that fateful night
took great pride in disintegrating
everything in their sight

Nothing was left that was not
scorched by their flame
although to the fire-breathing
dragons it was all but a game

No trees were left standing
and nay grasses retained green
it took three and a...

 On
a cold
autumn eve,
playful fingers
tangled, soft and shy.
The smell of hot chestnuts
wafted through the milling crowd,
a promise of comfort and warmth.
We watched, you and I, the skies explode
as rockets declared their secret desires. 
Catherine wheels danced a dizzying response
while the bang of crackerjacks echoed,
spilling smoke...

The more we focus on what shines inside
That has us taking this amazing ride
Living life's highest high's
To the stars, so we can mystify
About our love, we won't let slip by

In a place, we can both occupy
Where we see the beauty eye to eye
Baby, it will...

Pandora's Equation
 
The box was beautiful. 
It held everything ugly in one place. 
It was meant to be a prison, 
to create safety on the outside, 
from everything on the inside. 

Man can not leave well enough alone. 
Woman... failed in paradise. 
We were all...

Dogs ears are sensitive
So a crack of thunder
Or fireworks hurts their
           ears
Their eyes look scared
They are afraid and hide
Running under the bed

Every long weekend
Fireworks does happen
The dogs get scared
The noise is very loud
Hiding until the...
