Fireworks

Spring lit the wick
        and the flame crawled
        up! and up!
The fireworks blew up quick
        I could almost hear the
        pop! pop!

They exploded in yellow,
        purple, orange, pink,
        white, blue, and
        red! so red!

nature’s fireworks flared. Mellow,
        longer-lived,
        sweet-smelling—
        and instead of burned paper,
                        the product was berries overhead
