KaBOOM! in the distance sonic thunder
Outside - what's the occasion?
Who cares there's a Blue Streamer with Orange Flickers
And an exploding Red Rose
Golden Burst with Green Sparks

Get on the roof for a better view

Witness the Birth of a New Spiral Galaxy
And a Purple Multi-Sparkler
Followed by Vermilion Viridian Twister
Four at once - Red Green Indigo Silver
Then one on the centre - Golden Sun Erupting Engulfing

That's it

Show's over

I like the lines "what's the occasion? / Who cares"

Reminds me of when we moved into our new house... a week after we moved in, there was a fireworks show at the neighborhood park-- in November. What was the occasion? Who cares! We love living here, let's celebrate!

I enjoyed the last two lines after the long list of firecrackers.

This reader liked this for a lot of reasons- mostly for how interruptive it is. Really, who cares why... there's fireworks! Thanks for stirring the reader's youth a bit.

I thought of a fire cracker show. We just celebrated Australia Day, but I like the broader allusion to the creation of the universe - The big bang. Perhaps we are heathens after all, mimicking the start of our existence and nothing else matters....lol

'Get on the roof for a better view'

That's what I always do whenever we have fireworks show. I love the way you made use of various colors. The end sounds so apt.
