Bonfire Night: Fireworks! Poem by DM W
Bonfire Night: Fireworks!
On Bonfire Night, a thousand bright lights
Explode in November's autumnal skies:
Moon Shadow, Crackling Glitter, Comet Bomb;
Deadly Dragon, Pearl Shots and Flaming Sun;
Clustering butterflies, Opal Orchids,
Shanghai Surprise and sparklers of chrome and gold.
Wondrous colours of saffron, silver and green;
Scarlet, violet and short blasts of deep blue dreams;
The Tomb of Treasures, The Flower of Spring;
The slither of Shining Serpents that sting
The air - and dazzling white snow lingering.
There are so many dancing, delightful things:
Ruby Red Storms, Summer Fountains, Orange Feasts
And the whirling magic of the Catherine Wheel:
Scenes that briefly extinguish our woes;
Until all that's left, is a haze of smoke.
I can feel the heat emanating from your colourful and well written poem. A full score for writing and imagineering a splendid poem Dominic. Many thanks and take care.
This is such a vividly described event that one can almost feel the intensity, the colour, the enthusiasm, the magic of the Bonfire Night!
Thanks Milhaela...I wrote it for my nieces and nephew a few years ago. They love to hear me read it to them every November 5th...it will soon be upon us once again!
Very nicely crafted poem on different colors and crackers that will fill the air with brightness and sound in this festive season. Enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.
Well articulated and nicely brought forth with insight. A beautiful creation. Thanks for sharing Dominic.

It will soon be upon us, thousands of colours in the sky. A great poem.
