I’m not allowed to play with fire anymore. Sigh. I do so love fireworks, the yearly ritual of blowing things up legally.

Flowers bloom above

Sparking showers in the sky

Crap! My hairs on fire.

@Ade-A haiku is a form of Japanese poetry composed of imagery from nature with 3 lines of 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables. This is an American bastardized form of the lofty haiku that probably has Basho spinning in his grave.
