Parade Haiku

Crowd awaits Showcase parade; National event ~~~~~~~~~ Children and parents Mass display show; Wonder exudes ~~~~~~~~~ Dazzling event Pomp greets splendour; Moments grace ~~~~~~~~~ Images appeal History conjures; Moments to gaze ~~~~~~~~~ Delighted faces Lost in the crowd; Too many distractions ~~~~~~~~~ Joy wears a face Pride of place tells; Pragmatic interlude ~~~~~~~~~ Smiles betray Pleasant attractions; Form seeds format ~~~~~~~~~ Showtime extravaganza Eyes spy curiously; Brief agenda ~~~~~~~~~ Panorama Fireworks punctuate; Ecstatic movements ~~~~~~~~~~ Simple minds see Just happy movements; Orchestral symphony ~~~~~~~~~ Showtime sensations Emotive transcendence; Aerial acrobatics ~~~~~~~~~ One wit now puns Too much palpitations; Hint in cool breeze ~~~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 26 July 2015 Singapore
