Screaming Fire
Streams of color light the night,
Exploding across the dark dome
of heaven,
Red, yellow, blue and white
Against the black veil they flash.
Their colors light up the night.
of earth
Stream fire up, up
As if to reach the heavens
Then dissolve into darkness,
Leaving one last color: black.
--Chandler Hamby (Grade 9)

There is a lot to think about here!
Really good poetry says more than the poet is aware of saying. This piece does that. Good work.
