Prancing Pony

She rides a horse 'pon the merry-go-round
The decorated carousel endorse
Memories of long ago now astound
She rides a horse
Carousel music wind up tinkling sound
Sights, scents, food all pleasures reinforce
One enjoyable night forever now renowed
Long ago, short time together, love's course
In my aged mind those happy times rehearse
'Pon the carousel round and round and round
She rides a horse  

I don't remember what form that this was...
Just guessing Rondeau..

This brought back many good memories for me. Because, when I was a kid, my Mom would take me to the county fair every summer. And, I always had to ride on the carousel, at least once! I loved this poem, Sara, terrific work!...Thank you very much for your kind visit. And, I hope that you have a Happy New Year!

Aw, this is sweet and cute.. Reminds of my daughter's birthday trip. We went to the zoo, and there she went round and round, had fun, riding a pony, and the carousel..... Sending hugs and love... LINDA

At first I thought it was rondeau and then I realized it must be Rondel because it is shorter than rondeau!! Wanted to say again a very Merry Xmas to you, dear. And I got your nice card.

Reminds me of happy times at amusement parks. Nearby where I used to live was the fabled Coney Island. Just got back to the good old U.S A. after 2 weeks in the land of Israel. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
