Carnival

Carnival
Bright lights, loud music.
Fun, food, shows.
Exhibits,
Fleeting glimpse of fantasy.
Normalcy returns.

Aftermath,
Memories remain,
Bringing smiles.
Carnival,
So much fun, so little time.
Souvenirs, dreams kept.

Hey Judy, I believe I like the ending of your shadorma the best. You came so FULL CIRCLE. Souvenirs is the proper spelling...see if u can make a revision b4 she judges it. She is a professor so I am sure she's a stickler. I could be wrong though.....I remember hating to go home from a carnival as a child..then smelling my clothes the next day...the funnel cakes....ohhh ahhhh ohhhh ahhhh. Gwendolen

Wonderful entry to the contest. But we are expected to write two pieces. I think this is one piece. Please make it sure. Judy. I also wrote some shadorma. Of course still not entered in the contest.

Judy Ball

August 15, 2011 at 10:56 PM

Thanks so much my friend. I thought she meant two pieces making up six lines. I'll see what I can do. God Bless, JB

very creative...a well-said thought~~~but is it a requirement that it should be 2 verses....I'm pretty sure this is enough to win...but better review the rules for the contest~~~smile~~~this is a great art though~~~*-*junjun
