Fireworks Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Fireworks

Rating: 5.0


Hanabi
Flower fire
Flower image
Beautiful spherical
Shaped blossoms
Peony, chrysanthemum
Royal Family’s symbol

Explosions
Huge balls
Blazing colors
More elaborate
More thrilling
Big bangs
Blow out extravaganzas

Delight of cheering spectators
Stupendous bursts
Brightens up the sky
Rockets, flares, starbursts
Exploded in heart pounding
Rapid fire bursts
Dynamic pyrotechnic celebration

Splendid display
Illuminate entire sky
Awesome grandeurs
Majestic feeling

Wishing for
Family’s health
Longevity, happiness
Desirable things

Anniversary
Trade fair
Competition
Spiritual sight

Celebration
Promotion
Festival
Magical lighting

Lake Suwa
Takasaki
Atami Sea
Yokohama

Sumida River
Nagaoka
Katakai
Tsuchiura

Iwaki Onahama
Omagari, Matsushima
Unmatched anywhere
Japanese style

Such a simple topic and yet expressed so wonderfully. I use to love watching fireworks as a little girl with my family and this just brought a flood of memories back to me, thank you.

Hi, Ahmad. I like this poem very much. I like that you started out with colorful blossoms and moved onto a fireworks display and (I guess) the rivers where these celebrations took place. Very good. I gave you a 9.
