Notes About The Poem

Dazzling Balls of Fire

The old year went out with a big boom,
One sentimental New Year's Eve night.
Dark skies displayed many vivid plumes,
My stars! It was such a lovely sight!

One sentimental New Year's Eve night,
Vibrant fireworks had special meaning.
My stars! It was such a lovely sight!
A time when the future lay dreaming.

Vibrant fireworks had special meaning.
Dark skies displayed many vivid plumes-
A time when the future lay dreaming.
The old year went out with a big boom.
