ceasefire — the sky blooms with fireworks
Dec. 27, 2025
Comment: After a ceasefire, celebratory fireworks fill the sky. The word “blooms” captures the transformation — explosions that once brought destruction now create beauty and joy. The irony is sharp: similar lights and sounds in the sky, opposite meanings. For those who endured bombardment, the celebration may carry complex emotions, but the haiku simply presents the moment — the sky reclaimed, violence replaced by festivity, at least for now.
