The Street Fair

A cool breeze
Drifted through the window screen
Refreshing the air
After the hot summer morning
The street fair
That had been a diversion
Radiating energy
On a scale of one to ten
Rambling moments
Through booths lining Main Street
Bountiful displays
Of paintings, photos and jewelry
Harvesting mem’ries
To be placed on a shelf
Iconographic images
To be hung on a wall
Seasonal tourists
Pursing the assemblage of art forms
Silver reflections’
To be hung on a chain ‘round the neck
Residents abjuring
Then retreating to their apartment
Enjoying the day
After the luxury of their home town street fair
