Friday's Merriment

From a luminescent skyscape, I gaze below Where metronome's pulse rushes on.... never slow The city lights display an evening,all aglow As festive mood along side-streets bounce to and fro: In a tavern, women prance with an overflow Of live music as laced hems flutter---what a show! Pitched voices from cafe aisles hit a tremolo Like boomerang of laughter’s spray,fun hours row When gaiety warms Friday with red of Merlot: That nigh breezes act as crooners to tunes they know Igniting toil's break from weariness to hello... For merriment links all kinship and makes joys grow! 12x12 Monorhyme Contest for John Hamilton Posted 1/18/2017 Checked at howmanysyllables.com
