This free verse, Beyond the Fireworks, is a moving remembrance of your sister. The good times seem so few sometimes when we lose the ones who made them good. So sorry.

This is so beautiful and poignant, Jessica! And your reference to "With clouds in your eyes" is absolutely heart-breaking! How memorable this must be for you as though only yesterday, your fine verse is a magical and deeply moving tribute to your dear sister. Good luck in the contest! Debbie

Aww. Another beautiful memory encapsulated in some lovely writing. This has a lilting rhythm to match its nostalgia and you sum up the relationship between you and your precious sister so perfectly. Thank you for sharing this.
