Come fly with me
Poppy’s Prompts in August
Let’s Fly
High… in the sky
At the annual Fair
Gracing our small town where
Amid the rustle, hustle and bustle
Dazzling fireworks blaze sporadically
Amusement Park rides spin, fold, reshape… twist
Like whimsical origami creations… neon lights flash colourfully
Sugar treats invite, entice, entreat… clamouring from all sides
Try as we might they cannot be missed!
Irresistible salty scents of mouthwatering potato spirals
Meld with seared tongues and greasy palms
The exhilarating commotion of the crowds
Mutes… hushes… calms
Farewell my fair friend
Until we meet
Again.
***
Thanks again Poppy for the inspiring prompts.

Echoes
I stepped carefully around the corner, the familiar sights and sounds hitting me like a brick to the face. My eyes watered. I could practically see us, all of us, back then, clustered around the outdoor tables in front of the pizza shop, the bar, the coffee shop. I could smell the various stalls from the events we’d been to on this street. I could taste the churros and nachos.
