Christmas Lights In Inverness - For Carolyn's Contest.

Every year, on a chosen date in November The Xmas lights, are turned on in their splendour Through our town centre, and along the River Ness They bring cheer to the season, in their illuminated finesse On the very same night, Santa appears He is telling the children that Xmas is near As they walk through the town centre, singing carols of song They follow his sleigh, for with Santa they belong This year is a first, as there will be charity lanterns To raise funds for so many, who all become our concern In Inverness Scotland, at this special time of the year To all you out there, we wish you the best of Highland cheer My entry into Carolyn's " Christmas in your Town " contest. http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/inverness.php

Thanks for your comments on my poem. I wish you had touched on the real subject of "Transit Lounge," as objectified by the varied images usually seen in a transit lounge. And your poem? Love it, for who doesn't love Christmas?

How dazzling the lights must be, James! It sounds like a magical evening! The lanterns will be a beautiful addition to the celebration in their display and their purpose. Wish I could see it in person (hopefully pics on your site?)! Thanks for sharing this wonderful Rhyme and your kind words! Love, Robin
