We walk, hand in hand , we talk ~ cotton candy and caramel apples, music, rides and fanfare, sounds of joy and laughter in the air. Let the festivities commence: flashing lights and chaos, screams and giggles, rides and arcade games. The carnies are hyped up with their wiles and guiles to entice us in all ways. Summer is not complete 'til we’ve had our fun at the carnival. Reality and time warped ~ our youth tangible within our grasp under the spell of unbridled gaiety at the carnival. The sights and sounds of youth and joy and memories. Submitted on August 1, 2025 for contest CARNIVAL NIGHTS sponsored by ROBERT JAMES LIGUORI
