Haiku Friday: Red, White and Boom!

Independence Day
is nearly here – but tonight
the skies light up here

In C-Bus, we have
Red, White & Boom: fireworks
before July 4.

But I avoid the
crushing crowd and watch from my
back bedroom window

For the July 4
fireworks, we need only
shift to the front yard

One advantage to my house is that it’s in an ideal location for watching fireworks. We can see the downtown fireworks out of our back bedroom window, although it is a long way away. (And I’d rather do that rather than go downtown early in the morning to stake out a spot and guard that spot all day long.)

For our community fireworks, we need only bring the camp chairs out to the front lawn. They are launched just across the road from our neighborhood, giving us a close-up view without the long traffic snarl afterward.

Have a great holiday weekend, US readers. And non-US readers, umm, I’m sure there are plenty of YouTube videos of fireworks out there if you want to join in the fun.

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your main blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, please let me know.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! I will delete any links without haiku!
