Image result for carnival horse

Painted horses leaping, faster and faster, I hold on tightly as my tangled hair is flying; a sweet carnival memory of a childhood summer. 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. My dappled horse is quite a leaper! The Merry Go Round is now gently slowing, and I kiss my painted horse on his head; "Can I ride him again, please father? Painted horses leaping! _______________________________ August 16, 2013 Poetry/Verse/Painted Horses Leaping Copyright Protected, ID 13-1234-208-0 All Rights Reserved. Written under Pseudonym.

Love the movement as your poem picks up speed then slows down as the ride ends - so nice. Congrats Constance.

I had forgotten these ponies until I began to read and then I instantly remembered, so thank you Constance.

A lovely reminiscence of a bygone day. I took my kids on carousel rides as my parents took me. Fun! ~ John
