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.'

This is very imaginative and yet you have a very creative imagination. If you were to read the poem to me without saying the title or anything of what it's about. I would be able to draw fireworks as thats what I see in my head when I read it. Every line is so true and stunning in a creative way. Fireworks especially rockets make loud bangs this line describes it beautifully "Thunderous booms disturb the silence" that good that I would like to see more of it
