Travel Haiku - Fiesta San Antonio (Dallas) Poem

By John Tiong Chunghoo

louder than the battle
of San Jacinto
Fiesta San Antonio

Fiesta San Antonio
in memory of San Jacinto war
victors and losers hug each other

Held each April to honor the memory of the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto, Fiesta San Antonio is a ten-day party with more than 100 events, including parades, live music, plenty of food, sports, and pageants. The Fiesta features Cornyation, a humorous show lampooning San Antonio headlines and personalities; the St. Mary’s Oyster Bake; and the Women’s Fiesta Soccer Tournament, featuring top teams from around the nation. The festival begins April 16 and goes until the 26th.
