Painted Horses Leaping

Painted horses leaping, faster and faster, I hold on tightly as my tangled hair is flying. A sweet carnival memory of a childhood summer. Painted horses leaping! The amusement park is twirling and whirling, of this horse, I alone, am the master! Father is holding me, to keep me from falling. My dappled horse is quite a leaper! The Merry Go Round is now gently slowing. "Can I ride it again, please father? Painted horses leaping! _______________________________ August 16, 2013 Poetry/Rhyme/Painted Horses Leaping Copyright Protected, ID 08-499-404-16 All Rights Reserved, 2013, Constance La France
