Fire Works

by Nick Flores

I hear people whispering,
all around me.
Why are they whispering?
Are they excited?
I notice the almost set sun.
Pop!
A bright light explodes.
Pop pop pop,
3 more lights explode,
like a system of stars,
all exploding at the same time.
I get excited,
and watch in amazement,
as all the super novas turn to ash.
I can feel the rhythm of the fire works,
as they explode and turn to embers.
Boom boom boom,
a rampage of explosions go off,
and then silence,
total silence.
