Notes About The Poem

Ringing In the New Year

Nippy brisk night draws a cloudless backdrop.
Fireworks and gunfire shot into the air
Whistling, exploding ka-boom, pop, pop, pop
Lighting colorful spiral flowers, there.

Fireworks and gunfire shot into the air
Smell of sulfur and gunpowder wafts through;
Lighting colorful spiral flowers, there.
Sparkles scatter, freedom about it drew.

Smell of sulfur and gunpowder wafts through;
Whistling, exploding ka-boom, pop, pop, pop
Sparkles scatter, freedom about it drew.
Nippy brisk night draws a cloudless backdrop.

I tried to explain what I liked about it, Eve, but could not compartmentalize any sixty five things, so I faved it.

You love pantoums. For me they are not easy as I find rhyming difficult. ~~
