Notes About The Poem

Interesting: London's last gaslamp lighters keep capital's history alight - YouTube

The Lamp

Quaint

gas street lamps;

not too many are left.

Their soft, warm, amber glows

replaced by hard, cold, white beams;

the new  L  E  D  technology
 
of our advanced,

modern age.

Arthur Vaso November 16, 2017 at 8:28 PM Its funny they just changed the lights on my street to LED, I know is more efficient, but I prefer the softer lights! Nice poem! Sandra Haight November 19, 2017 at 5:25 PM Hi, Arthur...yes, the LED's are ultra bright and cold. I too prefer the softer lights. Thanks for your visit and supportive comment. Sandra
