Poem: Harbour Lights – A Sydney Serenade

MY TRAVELOGUE POEM

Fireworks and Wonder

In Darling Harbour’s embrace, I found a place so bright,

Where fireworks paint the canvas of the night.

Sydney’s heart, alive with light and sound,

In every corner, magic is found.

As dusk falls, the scene comes alive,

With energy and joy in constant thrive.

Locals and travelers, side by side,

Sharing moments that in memory reside.

Waterfront dining, a feast for the senses,

Laughter and tales, no need for pretenses.

The harbour’s glow, our merry band’s backdrop,

In this instant, time seems to stop.

Fireworks burst, a dance in the sky,

Colors reflect where the waters lie.

Each explosion, a story to tell,

Under their spell, we willingly fell.

City lights twinkle, a harmonious view,

Harbour waters carrying every hue.

This spectacle, a sight to behold,

A tale of wonder, waiting to be told.

Music fills the air, a rhythmic delight,

Street performers charm us into the night.

Each act, each note, a piece of the show,

In Darling Harbour’s warm, inviting glow.

Culinary wonders, tastes to explore,

Each dish telling tales of distant shores.

With the skyline alight and hearts aglow,

The fireworks above, the city below.

Aquarium wonders, wildlife so near,

In this urban oasis, joy is sheer.

Paths to wander, sights to see,

Darling Harbour, where we long to be.

Ease of passage, a welcoming space,

Here, every moment is an embrace.

Fireworks’ splendor, a regular treat,

In their presence, our hearts skip a beat.

So here’s to the nights, bright and new,

To Darling Harbour, and memories true.

An unforgettable journey, a shared delight,

In Sydney’s embrace, under the night light.

Each return, a promise made,

Of more laughter, more memories to trade.

For in Darling Harbour’s luminous sight,

We found joy, we found light.
