Drawn in was I by a loud cheery sound. Calliope! I rushed straight to the place where beautiful creatures moved round and round in quite a wondrous and magical chase. Colorful horses were in their own pose. Prancing were they, so I ran fast alongside a white, pretty horse – the one that I chose for my most marvelous carousel ride. Up and down, round and round, and then it seemed after what must have been hours had gone by, the horses – like no other ride I'd dreamed - left the ground and circled up to the sky! April 5, 2020

I remember as a kid reading a book that was about a magical carousel - you take one ride on it and you come off years (or even decades younger). You always have the heart of a child when you write it seems ... and that's what keeps me coming back for more!

Hello Andrea … the merry-go-round was truly magical for us at the annual agricultural shows. Us kids spent all day just watching the houses go 'round and 'round - thanks Andrea - Lindsay

There is nothing quite as magical to a small child as "the merry go round". This is so sweet Andrea. Your poem goes splendidly with the picture. I am sure to see this as a winning poem! I hope you are well and keeping safe. xxoo

Andrea, I could ride them for hours..never giving one thought to the brass ring. Thank you for finding the child in me. Now it will be my Grand-daughter's turn to go 'round & 'round. -Richard
