CD: Fireworks (Hanabi)

Carpe Diem #229 



sparklers in the sky
rain down on river Edo
children clap for joy

***

hanabi sky lights
connecting stars with color
fade to twinkling dust

      I forgot whose blog I was just on with the amazing fireworks display. Have never seen fireworks like that! Well on tv in Sydney, Oz and Boston. Thank you, JzB!

    What a wonderful set, the scenery you paint here is wonderful. That second, in some way with a deeper layer, is really a gem Maggie.

      Thank you, Kristjaan. Have just joined Haiku group and read list of Basho kigo. Trying to use some of his words. Love Edo which is referred to a lot. We do clap and ooooh and ahhhh in the US.

    Thank you, Wabi and Joanne! When I have seen fireworks at the river, I always follow the sparks until they burn out.

    Gorgeous. I like how you incorporated the names of Japan places. It gives it an specific setting and a more precise image. Well done.
