FESTIVAL OF ST ANTHONY – LISBON

 

 

The custard tart yellow

of suns final offering

glimmers on revellers

emerging and laughing

and hovering balloons

shimmering, shining

look down on performers

in sumptuous satin

gyrating to sounds

of the pimba pulsating

and smells begin swirling

of grilling and searing

and into the night

the crowds remain heaving

eating sardines and spiritedly dancing.
