Nette Onclaud Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

 

 

Chaos In Night Markets

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.

Joe Maverick September 26, 2017 at 5:23 PM 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..'

Maria Williams September 25, 2017 at 6:23 AM Nette, you brought this night market to life with this very descriptive write of yours, a true poet you are....Maria PS, I really love the night markets in Malaysia, your descriptive poem took me there

Russell Sivey September 24, 2017 at 8:34 AM 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!!

Arthur Vaso September 24, 2017 at 12:09 AM 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!

Probir Gupta September 23, 2017 at 9:20 PM Me too along with Mystic! ... Vivid representation ... Great ... GL ...

Rhoma Em September 23, 2017 at 5:19 PM A different kind of chaos choosing a market for the theme.Astounding, indeed; you are the lady of modern inventiveness and imagery.
