“July”as They Call It
It’s that time of year again. You know the one where those small humans like to blow up colorful little flames in the sky. Especially right now during the years of the constant sun, or “July” as they call it, they really love to throw them up today.
I wonder if they see and hear the same thing we do from up here. Do they see the beautiful patterns the tiny colorful flames make when they melt ...
The Pretty Twinkling Lights
“Ooh, look at these ones, Nicole!” cried Jackson. “They’re brilliant!”
Indeed they were. From the top storey of her mansion in the clouds, Nicole the cloud-dweller could see brilliant arrays of colours lighting up the sky. Every year on the Fourth of July, though she didn’t know why. She’d marked a circle around the numbers on the page the minute Jackson had returned after one of his clandestine ...
Fireworks From Above
It looks like rain, fired from the deep
Like splotches of mystical saliva
And the sound it makes, a pixie’s scream
Followed by clumsy giants
It tastes like cherry but ends in tangerine
And there’s a tartness long after
That begs to be solved with yet another bite
Mixed with the cool taste of evening clouds
It’s cheers falling upwards
Abstract drips
Sprinkles of light
Illuminating flecks...
The Hope In The Sky
As I was in the aeroplane above, I saw some beautiful shooting colourful lights, they were extremely loud, like a bomb going off but somewhat calming and exciting, how bizarre. They were shimming in the sky, they were stunning everyone was loving them and filming them, bright lights everywhere and a happy atmosphere. What a lovely flight. Thank you Ryan Air...
Sky Fire
What are those lights
The noise causes a fright
Fires coming at me
Are those weapons from the sea
Better go hide from the fires
Lost in space mires
Retreat to my sanctuary

But wait those bombs make colors
Bright red, blue and green wonders
The colors brighten the sky
These are not weapons, oh my
But what is this spectacle
Curiosity now the obstacle
These bright explo...

“Firework Show“
Wow! What an amazing ride, flying around in a helicopter. Pedro and Mason, were enjoying the flight when they noticed fireworks in the sky. Pedro , told the pilot go higher so we can see the show from the sky. It was amazing looking at the rocket launchers as they left the ground. Thousands and thousands of fire works going off.
Mason said, I have never seen anything so beautiful. The color...
Sky Bombs
Darkness.
Darkness..
Darkness…
The cool evening sky seems so endless and so vast. The anticipated murmur below is all that breaks through this silence, this darkness.
There is a small light, as insignificant, as minimal, as a single birthday candle on top of a cake. The murmur dies down to a brief whisper. A whisper of hushing. All that is heard is the sorrowful song of the summer ...
Did You Know Community Could Be This Beautiful?
They stand, mouths agape, eyes fixed on the light and smoke in the sky. Their bodies form patterns, clustered across the beach, children darting in and out of the shapes they create. There is whooping and whistling just before the sparks flit across the sky. The energy is explosive—enough to make you forget about the fireworks. Enough to make you realize they are the fireworks....
The Sky Is Blood
“The sky is blood!”
He screams and rushes to me, little hands gripping my thighs. I try not to laugh.
“The sky is blood?” I echo.
“Yes.”
I smile.
My brother Eli has the wildest imagination. Most nights he sleeps in my bed for fear of unknown things devouring him.
It’s almost concerning.
I stroke his blond mop of hair, scoop him up, and I’m climbing up a grassy knoll.
I set him down at...
