nights razzle city
lights dazzle pretty
merry Christmastide
fairy carriage ride
trees displayed there
seen in market square
river shines reflection
mirrors celebration
dragon in fountain
shadow of mountain
steeple tickles sky
people trickle by
carolers swell song
cathedral bells gong
haze glows of gaslight
maze lit til midnight
a poem in my pocket

we have nothing like your Christmas market here, Lynn. It’s strange living in a city where people have to drive forever and don’t know who is next to you on the street. I love the ‘community’ implied in your poem.

A wonderful jingle of a poem.

getting us in the spirit of Christmas Lynn with this jingly upbeat poem – love the last line especially
“maze lit til midnight”

Thanks for reading! I usually wait until after Thanksgiving, but…

I too prefer to wait until the 25th is nearly upon us especially as consumerism blends all our festivities in one big spend ;(

I can see that Christmas spirit is here Lynn ~ I smiled at this part:
steeple tickles sky
Thanks for joining us ~

I just updated that line…my pleasure, Grace.

I would so love to be caught in that razzle… but it was such a long time since I looked forward to a Christmas… maybe I need to indulge in the joy… let loose in the dazzle.

May the spirit of Christmas find all of us again, Bjorn. JOY to the World!

Nice to see you razzling and dazzling, Lynn! How wonderful that you’ve described the Christmas market. which they were just finishing setting up the day we arrived and by the last evening the lights were on, stalls were selling food and the ‘train ride’ was up and running, And the cathedral bells were ringing! You’ve packed everything so beautifully into your poem!
