Painted Horses

Painted Horses Leaping Painted horses leaping, faster and faster I hold on tightly as my tangled hair is flying a sweet carnival memory of a childhood summer! And of painted horses leaping! The amusement park is twirling and whirling of this horse ... I alone, am the master father is holding me to keep me from falling! Oh, my dappled horse is quite a leaper! The Merry Go Round is now gently slowing quiet now are the painted horses leaping! ____________________________ March 25, 2023 Poetry/Rhyme/Painted Horses Copyright Protected, ID 03-1533-872-25 All Rights Reserved, 2023, Constance La France Submitted to the Premiere contest, Strand No 1023 Sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 03/27/2023 Fourth Place

What a delightful memory of a carousel, Constance. Seeker is so correct it is a "dreamy reverie!" I have always loved the magic of a carousel and the ride is always over too soon! Congratulations on your win! Easter blessings of joy to you!
