tardy fireworks
travel through open window
blasts pierce July night
floating towards the clouds
seeking their independence
helium balloons
Filed under haiku
shots fired, bells ring out
patriotic music plays
bats feast by moonlight

soldiers, revelers
battle and celebration
independence day

nature’s fireworks
thunder, lightning, wind and rain
mar July 4th plans
