2517


carnival quiet-
Sunday morning before
all the mayhem

*
dull still clouds
anticipate revelry
in sunburst hours

*
when at the beaches
tumbling waves to welcome
the bacchanal shy

Ah, yes, even the Sunday morning quiet can't last forever, can it?

This brings me back to anticipation celebrations as a child, looking around and wondering if everyone was just as impatient to begin as I was. :)

Marit said...

Some parts of the Netherlands celebrate carnaval too - not in my region though and most of the parades were annulated anyway because of the thunderstorms... enjoy your days dear. Hug from Holland!

The carnival vs the quiet? Hmmm, an interesting contrast and which will triumph? At least both are equally enjoyed.
