Notes About The Poem

What The World loves, Nette Onclaud, 6/27/2025

Night at the Carnival

soft, dark winds
go round and round, passionate;
firmly binds
pairing lips on carousel.
hearts flit up and down.

I vaguely remember those "Carnival" nights. Boys acting tough, looking for fights. The girls are all giggly, with ribbons and bows. Little kids vex their parents with crud up their nose. But, "Me" up and down on a carousel ride, I could brag 'bout last night, but you'd know that I lied. I'll just have to settle for cotton candy, even on those nights I'm feeling Randy!

Excitement and passion from within them their hearts and souls on fire, and being at a fun fair on the carousel, excitement mounting with speed and swirl, other lovers also kissing on the carousel, brings out an even more passionate kiss, they are at a fun fair which young couples tend to seek out. Congrats on your win Kim, Blessings and love Jennifer.
