Sarah is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and has prompted us with our memories of markets. Mine is of Petticoat Lane in London where I used to go as a child. It was colorful and memorable
I have fond memories of Petticoat Lane, Christine, where I used to buy cheesecloth tops and loons back in the seventies. I love the short lines and rhyme of your poem, which evoke the sounds of the market.

Thank you so much Kim 🙂 I thought you might have gone there too seeing as you grew up in London. It was fun wasn’t it?
Hi christine! Very wonderful work! Honest expression shared openly. I am having an existential crisis tonight. I invite you to come visit me, cross my bridge of dreams, and listen to Joni sing like an angel!

Yes Bjorn I always thought it was magical. It is still there today but I’m not sure those old time market guys are still around. It is a open air Sunday market. Even markets seem to be high tech these days. Covered up with a Starbucks in the middle! No personality 😕

Me too! I’ve always loved them. The costermongers were very theatrical when I was a child. I think mostly that era has been lost now 😕
I went to the famous Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, it was very big and busy, I hope the link opens for you https://readingterminalmarket.org/

Good rhyming here….and I love the inclusion of the caricature artist! An excellent detail.
Thanks Lillian 🙂
I enjoy markets. No telling what you will find but you will surely find something. 😉
