While theatres, bars and restaurants
Social
clubs and local haunts
Recharge
their batteries abroad
Brussels
welcomes tourist horde!
Sultry August
– long weekend
Where people
holidays now spend
Away from busy
office desk
Indulging
in fun downtime fest!
Its covered
flagstones in new guise
The Grand’Place
- object of all eyes
Puts flower carpet on display …
Art Nouveau
swirls take breath away!
Called “Rhizome”
– it’s a Liège design*
Where dahlias** strut their stuff this time;
From first
floor balcony we stare
At dazzling
son et lumière!
Old Gothic
facades glow in light
Making this
a special night
I raise my glass
of bubbles high
And marvel
at this flood-lit sky!
