# # Dazzling Colors In The Sky -Diwali

Rating: 4.1


[fireworks in the sky]

the plain white stars
hide and disappear
looking at these dazzling colors
man made today
just for a day
huh and at what a cost

the stars see them come and go
wonder why they do so
a spark a glow then they dwindle low
stars did wonder why so
a spark in a lot the star managed to hold [to ask]
a dying spark amidst a gasp said so

I AM JUST MAN MADE...
I ONLY LAST MY COST

An indelible spark of philosophy dazzling the mind with its glow...manmade creations are transitory in nature and come with a price tag where as celestial wonders are permanent and priceless...well done

Ronald Peat has a point, but I disagree. Most poets see things that other folks don't see or can even imagine. In my poem The Old Red Barn I make a statement that the old red barn seemed to be weeping that day, however we know in reality that a barn cannot weep no more that the stars can see your fireworks but we as poets can see these things. I have many other poems that use these metaphors such as my poem A Tree where the bluebirds are building a nest in her hair (leaves) . We all know that a tree dose not have hair. So keep on dreaming and writing, that's what we as poets do. God bless, your friend Lynn
