Today's word is "clinquant" ... KLING-kuh nt ... Glittering, especially with tinsel; decked with garish finery. (Dictionary.com)
Brillant
Ah! Such a night of clinquancy!
Celebrations chase each other 'round,
one zone to the next.
You can almost hear the gleeful
shouting wend it's windy way ...
passed on by some
prearranged signal ...
Like the ticking of a clock.
The revelers amass and retreat,
as time tracks on relentlessly.
Make merry then! The moments will
come and go. Ours is to celebrate
while we can. Ring in each breath
in praise of life.
