When Flowers Bloom In The Street
Yesterday was the Sunday
For Children Carnival parade
In St James š¹š¹ near where i live
St James š¹š¹ comes alive
Old and young dancing
Watching the children
The sun is hot hot
But nobody really cares
Watching the parade
The children enjoy
Displaying their fancy

Shine For The Carnival
The sun shines brighter
For all the brightest days
Then music can shine too
Prefacing the merriment
In the street when two days
The sun shines brighter
Then the gustiness
Carry more dust held tightly
For all the brightest days
A season so dry
Carefree and full of humour
Then music can shine too

Seems the weather has deceided to behave, like a child finally, understanding the lolipop is within reach of discontinued tantrums.
Its sunny today, and bright, and gusty, and dusty, like true true Dry Season i used to know, before climate deceided to change her ways.
Carnival is a season, like Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. Complete with its colour schemes, events, actions and music.
Carnival ends with two days of carefree costuming and dancing in the streets in groups called Carnival Bands, giving way to the solemn sacred Ash Wednesday, the start of the Lenten Season.

The Dream
I never knew i wanted to be a superhero,
Until the dream drew me in oh oh,
There was i then,
Solving problems this planet,
Had never done before,
My team worked very hard,
To rescue me,
When i was, captured by enemy guys,
Breathingly heavily,
Gasping all the while,
I escaped into reality.
Waking up i think,
I really didn't belong there at all.

Paramin Here We Come
We planned this trip, thoroughly.
Leaving point, the Library.
Leaving time [9:00AM].
A stop along the way,
To visit a tiny museum.
Then, on our way to,
The Paramin lookout point.
Here we will have lunch,
And Take group photos.
The rain was unplanned.
