You have captured a fantastic
moment—those fireworks linger on in their memorable
reflections because this haiku captures the moment so
well.

This maniacal scene is haunting—the haiku cause us to
shift our gaze from the blazing firework sky to the
beggarly plight of the accordion player creating a great
pathos! A juxtaposition of $ spent on the fireworks and
the poverty of a blind beggar playing the accordion. It
caught my attention!

Note:
Perhaps
the following links will help you understand why I wrote
on nature's fireworks rather than the usual. Fourth of
July celebrations. We get our fill of fireworks and air
shows every year in this area from Thunder over
Louisville. There are some negative side-effects which
block the positives that more simpler fireworks occasions
provide.
http://www.thunderoverlouisville.org/thunder-image-gallery.html
is a good link for pictures of the
air show and the fireworks display
http://pittsburgh.about.com/library/weekly/aa041802a.htm
is a good link to understand the
cost, magnitude and the company that makes the fireworks
and puts on the show and this article was from 2002, seven
years ago.

I
like how line 2 acts as a pivot line, essentially giving
us two haiku. I do wonder about the wisdom of pollution
because
the Caroni and its tributaries drain one of the most
densely populated part of Trinidad
