Hanabi: A Haiku on Fireworks
Lunar
Dec 2016
Loud and thunderous
Man-made rainbows and sounds riot
Set free far and wide
The fire's relative
A dangerous art beauty
Painted up so high
Blossoming flower
Lights up worlds and lights up lives
Fades into the sky
+++
Electrifying
Just like the feelings we have
Between you and I
Man-made rainbows and sounds riot
Set free far and wide
The fire's relative
A dangerous art beauty
Painted up so high
Blossoming flower
Lights up worlds and lights up lives
Fades into the sky

Electrifying
Just like the feelings we have
Between you and I
Here's a poem for New Year's Eve ! I got quite confused if I wanted a positive (beauty of fireworks) or a negative (the air pollution, and how it can hurt people and scare pets) ending. In the last stanza, all of a sudden, it turned into a romantic one

花火 - Hanabi

A burst of color,
it is the flower of fire
painted in such gold
that scatters across the seas
leaving memories of sparks.

blossoming across the sky like flowers blooming in a day.
