Jan Allison Poet Pantoum

Notes About The Poem

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THE SUPER SOUPER'S.

HERE'S TO A HAPPY AND MORE IMPORTANTLY A HEALTHY 2021

Floral Firework Show

We welcome New Year with celebrations 
Fireworks will light up the dark evening sky 
Rockets explode into bright carnations 
Pyrotechnic flowers seen way up high 

Fireworks will light up the dark evening sky
I gaze at the sky with awe and delight 
Pyrotechnic flowers seen way up high 
A floral display that’s viewed late at night

I gaze at the sky with awe and delight 
Rockets explode into bright carnations
A floral display that’s viewed late at night
We welcome New Year with celebrations
