How empowering to create a new form. And you picked a perfect subject with the onamotapoeic device: ka boom.
pyrotechnic elation--great phrase. Great photograph too.

How on earth, dear sir, do you manage to use Kaboom! Kaboom! and still create a piece that resonates with the grandeur of a psalm? :)

So beautifully done. Love this form.

I admired your new form and have taken the liberty of copying this post so that I might try it when time permits. I enjoyed your sharing your striking photograph as well (don't count on my doing that!). Your rhymes and use of onomatopoeia are quite effective. Cheers and happy holiday Sunday- Joan

" where the capital letters are repeated lines." - are there repeated lines which I am not seeing.

Great new format 12 line Exhortation. I might just try it out for good measure. The exhortation idea seems novel and great.
Such a great celebration and everyone is pitting in with their own fireworks show of kaboom! kaboom! Let's rejoice!!
Excellent write and captured the mood with exhortation defining the thrill of it all!!
Cheerio, Ritchie.

I really liked the cadence and movement of this. You definitely created an excited and celebratory tone and your words are perfectly positioned. I like that you were careful on the delivery of this type of piece. You clearly are passionate about your writing and what you give to the readers. Nice job.
