 Play Mas

masqueraders fill the street 

the road is all yours 

that time of sunny year when

Whine and jab cohorts 

beads and buntings quivering 

bodies dancing free 

music is appropriate  

carnival time oui!

NOTE
'Play Mas' is my micro season as well as the poem title. I wrote 'Play Mas' using the Choka form, but starting with a 7 syllable line

With night comes 
The flicker of tiny flames
There used to be before
Climate change
And present day rules
Hand held spatklers

Sparkle continues 
Irregardless
In joy of family
Reunion
Food music chatter 

Who needs sparklers then
When the sparklers become
Themselves 
Divali night
