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

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. Sandra M. Haight

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!

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
