Confetti, a Devizes Wedding

In Devizes, during Carnival, we have a Confetti Battle... We dance in town, as bright confetti falls Upon our hallowed ground, we move as one The old and young among the market stalls All blessed by Ceres and the setting sun We move as one, we laugh, we catch the light In coloured flickers deep within our eyes A cloud of happiness, a merry flight Of beautiful beribboned butterflies We dance in town, bedecked like bridesmaids gay Our hair all strewn with prettiness and joy Our cares for one brief moment blown away We move as one, man, woman, girl and boy As, blessed by Ceres in her wedding gown We all, as one, are married to our town © Gail Foster 2016
