Street Festival
The sidewalk becomes a sea of tents
Awnings and flags ride the waves of this ocean
The artists come to the shore daily
To display their wares
Beautiful pieces made by creative hands
Spectators view their displays
Eying each treasure as they pass by
Children touch everything and their eyes fill with wonder
Amazed at something as simple as a candle
The air is filled with the music of laughter
People walk side by side
Some push strollers; Some hold hands
The smell of funnel cakes fills the air
As vendors open carts for business
The sun is bright, warm, and inviting
Calling men, women, and children to join the party
This party that is the festival of life.
