Festival Freckles

I’m about to join the fun, go out and collect
some days of sun and freckles, what the heck
Festival comes to us but four days once a year
so come and join in the fun, and bring sunscreen, hear?

the atmosphere is more than fluff
there’s art, and music, all that stuff
young and old join in the throng
and all will dance to calypso’s song

fine art shows and crafts alike
you’ll find the mummers riding bikes
art patrons come, from east to west
but eating great food is just the best!

bierocks, chicken, catfish, gumbo,
fry bread, drumsticks, sausage, pastas,
onions in a blossom, hummus, more
deserts will come through hidden doors

almonds, puddings, ribeye steaks
egg rolls, rangoons, great lemonades,
cookies, cheesecakes, cobblers a la mode
walk a lot, you won’t feel like a toad!

bring the kids, they’ve their own place
storytellers, artists will make-up their face
you can leave them in their own ring
they’ll play all day and learn to sing!

music all around the park, come, and give a hear
you can’t help give a skip as it sounds so clear
snap your fingers, and smiles abound
it’s the best festival in this whole darn town!

River Fest! It’s come again, and it’s been around a while
twenty-five years of memories, guaranteed great smiles!
I’m about to join the fun, go out and collect
some days of sun and freckles, what the heck!

(smiles) Wow, seems like so much fun, wish I could go too! (smiles) I was just at the Boulder Creek Festival Memorial Day Weekend in Boulder, Colorado along the greenway, it is gorgeous up here and I had some nice kettle corn and cinnamon almonds, we watched the rubber duckie race downstream, I looked at marvelous tie-dyed t-shirts and fantasy artwork on display, and got a nice tan in the sun and ate at a nice cafe on the patio! (smiles) It was great! I bet your River Fest experience will be one never to forget! Have the most wonderful time, sweet Sunshine! (smiles) Very creative and novel poem! You have such a beautiful heart, dear friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
