Carpe Diem #636, Fireworks

Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

As you can see I have chosen another prompt for today, I had planned "candles" for prompt, but that prompt we already have had in our extra feature Carpe Diem Seven Days to Christmas, so today I have fireworks for prompt and of course that's because of the coming of New Year's Eve ... and as you all can see ... I have temporarely changed our background.

Fireworks however is not a modern kigo for winter extracted from Jane Reichhold's "A Dictionary of Haiku" .... it just is a thought grown from my mind. Of course you will remember that we have had this prompt two times earlier, but to me that doesn't matter ... I have a wonderful haiku to share on "fireworks" (or Hanabi).

What a gorgeous picture, not a fireworks especially for New Year's Eve, but for sure gorgeous. Here is my haiku inspired on this prompt:

New Year's Eve
