Notes About The Poem

For the New Years Old Wishes Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Craig Cornish

Wishful Thinking

It's the New Year's boom
with colored fireworks lauding,
the toast of the town.
The proud, old guard has vanished,
with its dreams, yet unvanquished.

Hues light the plum night;
'midst crash and bang in the skies.
Starry-eyed moon glows.
The past's still following me,
but only in memory.

Victor Buhagiar January 2, 2025 at 1:00 AM Unless my partial amnesia is still playing hide-and-seek, I was never a fanatic about parties at the end of the year. Still, you described such a party in an excellent way. Evelyn Judy Buehler January 2, 2025 at 2:16 PM Thank you so much for the compliment, Victor. I do hope that your amnesia improves. Blessings.
