E xhilarated by a marquee of bright horses, C arousel of my girlhood…I dance with your light! S oaring, navigating a riot of a glossy parade; T o revel in flights beyond star’s gateway A s my heart thrills from arcade’s music…Oh, S cenes from past summers replay this joy. I become Y oung again… while dazzling evening washes over me! ............. Ecstacy Contest for John Hamilton 7/1/2016

What a delightful memory you project here, Nette! As a child I never went on a carousel, but these past few years I have tried several...making up for lost time! ~ Congratulations on this fine win. Hugs // paul

Beautiful! Like what you did with this! Did you know this ride is very popular in France? You can find one in many towns!

I just LOVED this stuff as a child but I went straight for the real scary rides. I should have done my poem on one of those scary rides. THAT was true ecstacy for me. Sure loving this contest!! Bye for now, Nette. see ya in a few days.

Everyone loves a carousel. Feeling young is most definitely ecstasy. A remembrance of innocence. Fantastic take on the theme, nette.

Carousels still fascinate me and I do ride them. Seems the merry-go-round of lights, wind, and freedom enchant. Your vivid words bring joy!

Such memories never fade, ....you brought my own childhood back to me, and I am riding the white stallion with the golden saddle. :) Thanks for the sweet recollection.!

As a boy, the rides of yesterdays were sheer magic. You brought me back to those moments when ecstasy was pure, innocent. This excellent poem is filled with radiant visuals and expressive lines!
