Image result for busy night market

When night markets begin to come alive; Kaleidoscope of light glitters the street As sundries pile, welcoming a throng’s dive Where voices shrill to haggle for fine treat: And cacophony rasps like a foghorn When perpetual hysteria rises Through bargains from outfits , gems, to sweet corn In spiraled race, women bark off prices. While chaotic noise drums twisted chatter Taxis, large vans honk … causing wild bedlam Along with merchants who join guests’ tattler On an evening of riotous wham! Above red lanterns , metro guards scurry, Pursuing crooks in frays through lanes, hollow … Yet, this apocalypse does not worry Most buyers chasing for wares they follow. John Hamilton’s Eight Word Challenge-4 9/24/2017

Locabvulory I think is the term Si is searching for Nette.' Yes I think you caught it up well here, a well 'Netted piece' To say the least.' A feast of the senses for the reader, although you might end up puttng tour firms un-firm if you know what I mean no; don't worry though, I won't breath a sigh..'

Wow, Wow Nette! You have surely impressed me again, by your vivid descriptions of this market that is overrun by too many crazy people and vehicles to turn it into a mad house! I'm with Vie, I tend to stay away from crowds, I like those hours to go to the market when no-one is there...like 5 in the morning! I am an early riser indeed, I'm up before then my friend! What a dramatic poem you have written! I hope it places high in the contest, as it should! Great work!!

I loved the imagery here, I could image being there, and even thinking how much fun it would be to walk with someone, observing all the people and activities!
