Fourth of July
March 28, 2012
Fizz, pop, bang, sizzle, sizzle.
The sound of fireworks booms.
“Shh” says mother “You’ll miss it.”
We hold our breath and wait
5,4,3,2,1. Not long now.
There!
A faint trail of smoke
launching into the jet black night.
Oohs and aahs all around
They’re coming faster now
I can feel them in my chest
Like a thousand stampeding rhinos.
Fizz, pop, bang, sizzle, sizzle.
The sound of fireworks booms.
Everyone stands to applaud.
