09/24 Bon Fire

INVADED BY ROCKETS

Exploding bottle rockets, sirens
detonating the darkest of blue blanket
starless night
a fusion of bursting brightness

of a Multichromatic flamboyant sky
and beaming jazzy clouds

Enrapturing kids holding white
hot glaring sticks making shapes,
wrapped up safe guarding mothers
gazing up filling their eyes with
pyrotechnic bursting missiles.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem "INVADED BY ROCKETS" vividly captures the chaotic and colorful atmosphere of a fireworks display. The use of imagery such as "exploding bottle rockets" and "pyrotechnic bursting missiles" effectively conveys the excitement and energy of the scene. The contrast between the dark night sky and the bright explosions creates a sense of drama and spectacle. However, there are areas where the poem could be strengthened. Consider exploring more varied and precise language choices to enhance the sensory experience for the reader. Additionally, pay attention to the flow and structure of the poem to ensure a smooth and cohesive progression of ideas. Overall, with some refinement, this poem has the potential to create a more immersive and engaging depiction of a fireworks show.

Quite energetic.language use

Quite energetic.language use and rhythm that go hand in hand to show the beauty of the fireworks.
I especially like the closing stanza
Enrapturing kids holding white
hot glaring sticks making shapes,
wrapped up safe guarding mothers
Gazing up filling their eyes with
pyrotechic bursting missiles.

P.s. I think you wanted pyrotechnic in the last line.
I also believe for the night sky (black) suites better than blue.
Just my thoughts.
Already enjoyed.
Thank you for sharing!
