Joe Maverick Poet Rhyme

Winter is outside'

I am aware of the shorter days..I am going to use an old term, in a new way..By the way.' First to all soupers..Be careful going
Out its really 'carney, and cold about.'
The ways are uneven, that..Well??
carney-ness is so deep.' Stay in the light
And also may you; your sanity keep.'

Andrea Dietrich October 28, 2025 at 1:45 PM What is carney to you?? Yo me it means kind of low class like carnival people!! Joe Maverick October 28, 2025 at 2:45 PM Much to ponder Andrea.? I have had thoughts on this, and how words are woven Clowns and signature make-um brightness too gaudy.!! Theaters and stages politicans acts, And side shows..' i did a poem that tells you more its about the latest Canadian leader.? Maybe bleeder is the right term.? All blessings)
