Blazing Fireworks

A poem I wrote for Poetry and Lyrical Challenge group

Blazing colors illuminate the night sky;
Thunderous booms disturb the silence.
Squawking birds begin to scatter and fly.

Vibrant hues of every beautiful shade;
Splash against the blacken velvet scene;
Silently, the show is over and begins to fade.

Smoke circles filling the stagnant cool air;
As oxygen rushes from healthy lungs
The heart descends, for he is no longer there.

Dreams how deceitfully convincing they can be;
For love once blazing with color and fire,
Has escaped, showing the past, and leaving reality.

All those fireworks, all that colours .. just as love can be described .. great metaphor there .. sad the ending, memories maybe not as colourful as the could be.

A lovely but sad poem, beautifully written .. 'Vibrant hues of every beautiful shade; Splash against the blacken velvet scene; Silently, the show is over and begins to fade.'

Beautiful. The sight of fireworks are truly a wonder to see. Wonderful expressions!

This is excellently written, and I also enjoyed the unique (at least to me it is) three line stanzas. The flow is very smooth, along with a solid rhyme scheme. I really enjoyed the uniqueness and creativity of this piece. The last stanza is my favorite, especially "Dreams how deceitfully convincing they can be". I can relate to this all too well. Excellent choice for the title as well. Thank you for sharing this poem.

This is really great, read very easily for me. I can see how maybe a firework is like a metaphor for a past love. Thanks for sharing this! :) I enjoyed the entire poem!!
