Constance La France Poet Rhyme

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.
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.
"Can I ride it again, please father?
Painted horses leaping!
