Winter Carnival

It is Winter Carnival time, everyone in a double bustle. Christmas Night, as emotions bubble; kids full of mischief getting into trouble. The whole carnival is decked out with Christmas décor! Swelled faces with joyful spells, sounds of bells, and so much more. A whole new winter world waiting to explore. The clown's face painted in white paint, fiery orange hair, a big mouth in red taint. It snarls a show of teeth all covered in candy Heath. Each evil eye of three glaring while I'm underneath. A red ball full of tea rose, for a nose that disposes out like a hose; you won't want it to be near your toes. It wears a ruffled collar satin clown suit and walks with a toot, half red the other half white and big black combat boots; he's so cute. Kids run around the clown hand in hand like a chain trying to get first dibs on a red candy cane. It is Winter Carnival everyone in a double bustle. Christmas Night, as emotions bubble; kids full of mischief getting into trouble. The poor cranky clown wearing a frown ready to put himself down where he dwells in his night gown when the sun goes down. 12/19/2018 Poetry Contest: Bunny Jump Honey Lump Funny Chump Sponsored by: Caren Krutsinger

Congrats, Eve, on your win in the contest. And just think, you were only 'clowning around.' Imagine what you can do when you 'get serious.' (Just kidding here of course; pun intended). Best wishes for 2019, Gershon
