FIREWORKS The crackle echoes the streets The colors light up the night sky, twinkling like stars Fireworks reach across the sky, to be seen from miles away Feel my heart pounding to the beat of each blast I smell the long trail of smoke, floating away after each performance Like thunder it screams, like the sun it’s bright Tasting the summer air.

I RACE I race for inland, but my car loses control, due to the incoming wave. I step on the pedal, but my car only slips farther away. It has a mind of its own and thinks it’s riding a wave, completely oblivious to the screaming people inside. The water is in complete control now, and now all I have to do is sit back and watch the end. By William Simon
