SKY ROCKETS
Now that Songkhran is over
and the water’s all dried up,
we’ll make today, tomorrow,
two days of beun bang fai –
(home-made fireworks; sky rockets,
another superstition
and a good omen for rain).
Two metres of blue plastic
Waste-pipe, filled with gunpowder,
strapped to lengths of bamboo cane.
Three…
Two…
One… …
Blast off...!
Loving the photos to go with your 55! Nice job.

ReplyDeleteYour description made it feel like I was there. I pictured the whistling rocket. The ooo's and ahh's of the crowd. Happy sounds all. You made it come to life. My 55 is HERE .
ReplyDeleteThe photos go so nicely with your 55
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, and enjoyed reading about the event. The rockets look cool all wrapped in blue. Fireworks have been banned in Australia now :(
