Totally fictional ..Never happened..

Childhood brought excitement when_to circus I did go to see the show put on by Ring master and those amazing folks. Clowns_No! Those acrobats jumping up high. Until that day I did not know life's call So from then on my desire was to be Acrobat, with practice and discipline learned Career in acrobatics earned, now over Ring 'pon wire, gliding along_like dancer Or with agile moves choregraphed dance Butterfly movements have audience dazed All my dreams fulfilled when _people on me Transfix, as my performance captivates Sponsor: David Williams Contest: Circus Combination Acrostic and Blank Verse

I smile at this Sara, but your poem is telling facts, because a lot of us only know what we want to do as we see the acts of others. A great read. hugs Marci

Excellent acrostic so full of the excitement of the circus. Never been to one myself, but would love to -- and this poem gave me a nice glimpse of one. Always, Laura

Circus-themed parties are an enjoyable and simple way to celebrate a child's birthday. The ringmaster is the most visible performer in the modern circus. Very nice dear good poetess.
