Love wandering through your imagination, Gershon - and congrats on your win, too!

I am amazed. What's your secret? How did you manage to wander through my imagination? Sounds like you found some 'solid ground.' Most people just 'fly right through,' as my imagination has been thought to be empty for eons now. ~ Starship Enterprise

Gershon, just where in Chicago are you seeing cavernous castles with carnal characters cuddling? You must be reading Brit Lit again, lol! I loved how your titles stayed in character with the alliterative theme, but used words not in the poems. Enjoyed this throughout and not surprised to see you earning a win. Congratulatory clapping commendations, chap!

John, thanks for the in-depth comment, and (yes), I've been reading 'The Victorian' again. (Snicker, snicker). Congrats on your win too, my friend! Joy and Light, Gershon

Tom! Adjust those reading glasses! I typed 'C A R N I V A L.' You gotta install 'Dirty Mind Check.' It's the latest software package from S&X Software, Inc. heh, heh. Thanks, gw

I wanna say, "Atta boy, Gershon!" You've written a trio of verses filled with alliteration.

Your alliterative poem is enjoyable my friend,

Alliteration almost always attracts affirmation... No?! :) gw

For sure; nothing wrong with carnal characters. Hell! -- Where would any of us be without them!? Great one, Gershon.

Hahahahaha! Although many of us have trouble envisioning our parents as 'carnal characters.' My father, for example, were extremely modest and my mother demure. How they ever had three children is beyond me... And so it goes... I imagine my kids feel the same way about me! :) gw

I would say that 'carnal characters cuddling' is the boldest and could be 'Destiny's delight' - enjoyed Gershon - well penned, Blessings, Jennifer.

Oh, dear! I meant carnival,... didn't I?! lol. Thanks, Jennifer! :) gw
