Independence Fireworks
Celebrating the Fourth of July
Flamboyant colors bursting in the sky
Instantly burning afterimages behind closed eyes
Rolling thunder in the smoky air
Everyone’s eyes are on the night sky
Whoots from all in the celebrating crowd
Odors of sulfur and smoke permeate the air
Revelers observing a special holiday
Kids running here and there, holding sparklers up high
Stars and stripes waving in the breeze
🎇
Ice cream treats to help cool down
Night out for community fun
🎆
To watch a pyrotechnics show at night
Happily sitting on lawn chairs with a group of friends
Each burst of light paints the faces around in colors
🎇
New friends to be made in the growing crowd
Ice melting in the coolers
Giggling children playing games together
Hot dogs are cooking on grills
The adults are drinking beer and sodas
🎆
Scary for the pets in our lives
Keep them safe inside at home
Yes, it’s important to keep feeling secure
