:)

I was on my way near Chinatown

So thought of having a quick browse

What they are having for this round

Lanterns everywhere, and I say “WOW”

I thought of stopping to check what to shop

But nothing in my mind, things I already bought

Today is not a day for me to shop or go for any walk

I just want to go home, too tired, and my body is hot

:)

    It looks like so much fun. I think I would have had to gotten something before I went home.

  • BeatsMe on Sep 7, 2011

    Whoa, all those lanterns made you hot and tired? I can imagine. I’m surprised you didn’t get dizzy. :)

  • Starpisces on Sep 7, 2011

    @Beatsme – I was hot and tired not because of the lanterns but because of the walking under the hot sun (100degrees C).
    Can’t do much when one’s body is as hot as the fire, lol.

    Thanks everyone for your support again. :)

    A good piece Star, are you sure about the 100 degrees? Just kidding.

    Star, the mid autumn festival is coming. There are a lot of lanterns. They are beautiful. After this festival, the weather is supposed not so hot in my place and hopes same for your place as well.

    I loved your poem. I thought the pictures were beautiful and colorful. I have been to Chinatown in New York twice. I went with my aunt for a festival. There were so many things to see there.
