Circus


When chaos whirls like a merry go round in a haunted house, you have mastered the circus when you can stay calm.

Great Monoku. I used to love circus. Now in Malta no animals are permitted.

Thank you Victor. I had too many syllables for a Monoku and changed it to free verse. Oh, no animals in Malta? I hope all is well. :)

You sure got that right. Life has challenged my ability to remain calm many, many times. I'm sure the same is true for everyone. Stay calm, when you can, if you can - not easy. Well said, Heidi. I sent you soup mail ... CayCay
