July's Thunder (revised, reposted for contest)

I love firework displays; always have.

This is a revision of a poem I wrote
last year. Hope you enjoy and feel
the excitement I do...


The nighttime sky is
as clear as the truth.
Stars wink down at me;
I grin, feeling like
a child again;
and I wink right back.

Soon, it will be time
for July's thunder.

Looking into the
heavens, feeling the
touch of a cooling
summer breeze on my
sunburned face, I wait...

soon, it will be time
for July's thunder.

The sky overhead
suddenly explodes
in technicolor;
fireworks bloom in
colorful displays.

The time has arrived
for July's thunder.

Sudden joy is loosed;
I rise to my feet,
in exhultation;
light flashes; and I
scream as the thunder
crashes over me...

my soul has been touched
by July's thunder.

If you love fireworks, you have to try it from a boat on the ocean in my hometown, they shoot them out over the ocean from the beach, it is so cool to sit out on your boat, smoking a doobie and watching them from there...although Rufuz doesn't like the noise and seems scared of them...Quite enjoyed this...wish it were july now...Peace from Soggy NJ, Ed & rufuz

I like the revision!
The fireworks are great each
year! Just like in our backyard!
(by the lake) We go to Granny's house
every year and swim in the pool and watch fireworks!
Fun! Excellent poem!
Thanks for reviews!

I could feel and see the fireworks with this write. Not sure if the US does this, but in Canada, in many of our cities we have "First Nights" on New Years Eve that always ends in fireworks. Its a wonder to see the lights shining against the white snow.......that is if winter hasn't been kipnapped! :-)

I loved this the first time you posted it, and I love it even more now! Wow, what a stirring, soul-shaking poem; could feel the excitement of the fireworks bursting in all their technicolor glory above us! Could hear the sound of the thunder too; wow, but do I love that sound, as daddy would say! Terrific write, Karla; hope this wins! It should; it's GREAT! BRAVA for one fine write, Karla; you keep on gettin' better and better!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :D
