Carnival
Submissions
-
Spinning
Around and around,
Plunging downward,
Soaring.
Floating,
Just for a moment.
A bird,
Lost in ecstasy,
Unaware of the coming end.
Slowing, drifting down,
We stop.
-
The Carnival
The lights shine bright...
Everywhere I look they are there filling the night sky with color
The sounds
The music. the laughter, the voices filled with excitement
The smells
-
Summer carnival
Cigarette smoke
Low in the air
Filling lungs along with the smell
Of fried things, that shouldn’t be fried
Screams fill the night, lit up with rides
Riiiiing riiiiing
