Mall Adorned - Tableau
There's a lot of red,
Red baubles hung high,
Smaller ones also,
Look up, the ceiling,
Holds them securely,
There for our joy.
The whites inbetween,
A cooling, for eyes
Lured to instant watch,
The gold and silver,
Oh so glamourous,
Christmas at the mall.

A special time of year. Your charm at the scene is evident. Not sure how to interpret your last line?
ReplyDelete"Christmas at the mall" is definitely adornment, there are also small concerts at times.

I know all that bling too, but to me it is way too much, and happy without all that red.
ReplyDeleteAt Christmas i cannot have enough of it. I love seeing the stores, mall, eateries and other public spaces decorated

I imagine Poinsettias grow outdoors in Jamaica, and it's good to see they feature large in the Christmas decorations rather than snowmen which would have little meaning there - great tableau, Gillena...
