Thanks for the wonderful comments. This poem was inspired by a memory of being in Penticton as a kid near the end of summer, and my dad and I sharing in the wonder of fireworks over the lake.

Cheers,
Lee

That father image a natural antedote to Angel’s rather cruel picture. Thank you, Lee.

Lovely images, which blossomed for me on about the third read. Nice one.

Melodious loveliness of a poem of sparkling lights from fireworks and reflected water, the soft rhythm matching the ripples of flashing moonlight on the water. My thought was that the event in this impressively constructed poem was the Fourth of July, but the poem said “summer’s epilogue”; an epilogue is an ending and early July a beginning to summer, so I guess it’s about another celebration. Admirably beautiful.
