Star Spangled Sky

by David Knape

Dark becomes light
and how we stare
bewitched by red
exploding flares,
mid-summer night
brings sights so rare
as fireworks boom
and rockets glare

Spider webs dangle
extracting sighs
to each bomb blast
another reply,
and we sit awed
as rockets vie
enjoying our Texas
star spangled sky.
