Jubilant Joy

Fireworks gloried the sky with dazzling colors 
   Of red, white, and blue, ushering in the new year
                       And I raised a glass... 
            In jubilant joy, jubilant joy, I tell ya!

     Once, a few springs ago, I went for a walk 
               In a soothing rain and jumped 
                Up and down a water puddle 
             With jubilant, jubilant joy, I tell ya!

    Last night, I looked up at the crescent moon
     It was smiling at me like such a happy child
              And I spontaneously combusted 
           With jubilant joy, jubilant joy, I tell ya!

    I've wondered into a glorious Autumn noon
    Sighing with fallen leaves. I threw a handful 
      Up in the air, and they rained down on me
       And I felt jubilant joy, jubilant joy, I tell ya!

I wrote this upbeat carpe diem poem to welcome 2019, and I thought it deserved more than an "honorable mention"
