Joys erupt
bad ones just corrupt.

Some love it and are elated
some hate it and are berated. 

Take months of planning
hearts and souls sing.

They induce fear
good ones bring people near.

Excitement is in the air
it’s a hush hush affair.

A variety of emotions surface
some blush few have a plain face.

A lot is at stake
for many can be a piece of cake.

Lucky ones get them
glitter like gems.

Fill everything with life
sometimes cut like a knife.

O are cherished for eternity
they make one a celebrity.

Thoughts matter
efforts color life’s platter.

Can move mountains 
often heal pain.
