Writing : Four Joyous Fourths

I wanted to write about some of the specific memories I had of happy 4th of July's (from childhood on), and this unexpectedly came out. Not my best work; but I do poetry so rarely these days, I am satisfied.

Four Joyous Fourths

Bright sparkles on a velvet sky
Booms echoing against the hill
Eyes open wide, head tilted high
Drinking in the moment of joy

Rainbow blossoms cover the night
Thunder rumbles with every flash
Family gathered, all is right
Celebrating the nation's joy

Concert ends, then fireworks starts
Canon booms yield to rocket blasts
Crowds of people enjoy the arts
Stolen kiss from my love, my joy

On the bluff watching many shows
Too far to hear, but many seen
Just married. What comes next? Who knows?
Questions fade, forgotten in joy.
