On the Vocal+ Assist Facebook Group there was the following request "Share a Vocal Story of Yours that features Fireworks, Real or Metaphorical, and tell us a little about it." As I did not currently have any poems or stories about fireworks, I figured it may be a good time to write one.
So the above is basically my take on a palindrome (or mirrored) poem built from two haiku. I was inspired to try a palindrome after reading Wondering the Possibilities by Dharrsheena Raja Segarran - an amazing example of this style of poetry.
I never imagined last year when I started writing that I would be doing such things, but there you go.
Thank you for reading and if you enjoyed it, please subscribe for more, leave a comment, insights or heart it. All interactions are encouraged and very much appreciated.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
