Monday WRites 183


SUNDAY AT THE MALL
Bold Poinsettias, reddened now,
cheer the pace of shopper's footsteps,
still though, allowing for a pause,
a breath, to listen to music of violins,
securing the swag of the musician's vibe.
Some Sundays at the mall swing that way.
Audience voices lend to microphones.

NOTE: Linking to dVerse meant I may have to edit my poem when the quadrille prompt appeared. So yes my edit was the word cheer instead of pulse

    Yay, fixed my issue (was having trouble commenting on your blog).
    I love this. And THIS is my wish for the season:
    "a breath, to listen to music of violins"

    You’ve reminded me how much I love to turn a corner and find someone playing music, Gillena! It’s a good reason for going into town at this time of year.

    Gillena - wow - that is one colorful Mall! The sound of violins is so appropriate for Christmas … do you listen to the artist Lindsey Stirling? A blessed Advent to you, and thanks for adding this bright mosaic to Mosaic Monday!
