It's been awhile since I 've attempted writing something creative.. Couple days back I while doing a delivery, I drove past the Perth Royal Show. I never got the chance to go because no one would go with me ='( but I did get a chance to get a glimpse of the fireworks. The firework display was no where near the ones I've seen as a kid. I clearly remember the marvellous ones which I've seen in Disneyland/world and in America on Independence Day (4th July). Someone asked me to 'describe fireworks' and I replied with a short descriptive sentence. This is the expanded version I came up with after I've had some more time to think =)


Fireworks

Glowing buds rocketed into the midnight sky,
The stalks of smoke trailed behind.
In the split second that had passed by
Blossomed brilliant flowers of all kind.

Carefully orchestrated whizzes and whirls,
Complimented the loud thundering booms.
As a fiery baton led in symphonic swirls,
Crescendos harmonized with explosive blooms.

Vibrant butterflies fluttered
Alongside swiriling bees;
Thin smoke trunks wavered
and boasted their green palm trees.

Then they slowly started sprinkling down,
Showering upon upturned faces.
Withering as they dropped to the ground.
And then departed with glittering traces.

They were gone...
And the silence took the night
So I left with a smile,
For I've never seen a more wonderful sight.
