Fireworks... haiku

It is fireworks time in India - October 23 is Diwali, the festival of lights.

The Carpe Diem prompt 'Fireworks' is perfectly timed.

my dream to fly

i give wings to fireworks

-the glorious burn

happiness

in vibrant colours

fireworks

transient gaiety

quest for an ally

-fireworks

But Diwali celebration leads to a lot of discomfort for many. There is another side to the festivities - the trouble of loud sounds and polluted air.

Students are advised - 'Say No to Crackers'

Peeking out the window

craving for frolics to end

caged at home
