poetry parade
Jboy12 copies from his journal….(including the poem he penned)…..
Tonight I will remember….always!
If you weren’t there (and if you’re reading this you weren’t), I will help you to be there in your imagination.
You are watching a parade with people dressed up in local costumes. Tripping past you are pretty ladies holding signs in Thai. Following them are….oh, I know, here, take a look at the pictures to see:
We kids were photographed almost as much as the parade!
When the parade had finished, we joined the throngs of people heading up towards a bridge over the Ping River. Even more people than last night were letting off the massive paper lanterns. Mum and Dad took heaps of photos while we stood still, staring at the night sky, captivated.
One of the most memorable things of the whole night would be looking up from where we were and being able to count at least two hundred glowing orange orbs….then walking down to the bridge, I looked up and couldn’t even count them. There were so so so many. *That* I thought was the most amazing thing on the trip so far. Loy Krathong is one of the most spectacular things to see. Definitely would come back for this again. And that’s not even mentioning the fireworks – they were equally as impressive!
A Short Poem About Loy Krathong
There were so many lanterns
shining in the night,
So many lanterns
shining so bright,
So many lanterns
shining like stars,
So many lanterns
shining afar.
Loy Krathing is beautiful!
