Eight-line Poems

Market Day

Market Day

To market, to market, the whole town would go
and on the way there, they’d dream of the show,
the buying and selling, the haggle and deal,
the mooing and neighing, the bleating and squeal,
but mostly they yearned for the coming of night
when all would witness the strangest of sights,
no longer providers and now just the clients,
at the magnificent dance of the giants.
