A pagoda shone luminescent for all to see,
Lanterns outside
And cherry blossom trees,
Pots holding white lily’s in a row
Lotus’s grew in a pond created long ago.
Tiled pitched roof in terracotta colour,
Trimmed off with decorations
This is a place for lovers.
Then a dragon bedazzled in colours supreme,
Danced down the road in crazy scene,
With lots of other people dressed up too,
All in different costumes for all to view,
A cacophony of music gongs and drums
Increased the rhythm and the sound of the thrum,
A delightful little moment in an oriental dream,
Never forgotten by the mind
When once seen.
