Notes About The Poem

A Carousel Dream

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!

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!

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
