Tet Celebration

The dragons mottled the streets with colorful wonders..
As they danced, twisted and soared into the glassy air.

The Ao DAIs, like blazing flames,
Fluttered in endless joy on the first spring day--
The breathing gale hummed 'HAPPY NEW YEAR'.

Bouquets  of daffodils and pots of lillies,
Ablaze, filled the outdoor markets---
Their dazzling wings unfolded as they welcome  February.

Poping fireworks echoed from the soul of a city
To the heart of each individual---
Spring had now returned to Vietnam.

Silence, now,had hibernated, 
Leaving the celebration of the Vietnameses to sail into the evening.
