    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this poem around the fourth of July, you know...Time for fireworks. I always thought the small town we lived in would be better off to donate the money spent yearly on fireworks to a more worthy cause, like the foodshelves.

    Fireplays
    Starburst light and silent explosions

    Flaming drops of fire

    Falling through a black slik sky

    Neon colors

    Drifting downwards

    Give way to clear backwash

    For falling stars and northern lights provide

    A superb late night performance

    Unequaled by all man-made attempts

    At annual night sky pageantry

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
