Ferris Wheel Poems - Poems about Ferris Wheel

The Ferris wheel, a spoked and sputtering crown, Pinned back the velvet dark. We paid our fee In crumpled bills, bought passage to the town Where gravity forgot to work its shift for me. Neon stuttered sermons: "Try Your Luck!" "See Freaks! Win Love!" The calliope’s thick breath, A sticky-sweet confection, made us drunk On promises spun sugar-brittle, sweet as death. We traded...

The rusted Ferris wheel, a skeletal hand, Points to a sky it can no longer command. Once, laughter echoed, joy on the breeze, Now silence reigns, whispered by the trees. The carousel horses, their paint chipped and worn, Dream of merry-go-rounds, of days yet unborn. Once, children squealed, clinging to their steeds, Now shadows dance, where happy laughter bleeds. The cotton candy stand,...

I passed through the moment hoping that you were there and had something profound to share, but I wait the morning out standing in the biting cold and the air penetrate my body without remorse or apology. My hands and feet suddenly became numb, and I couldn’t feel my lips, my jaw or my...

With cotton candy Pink and dandy, Funnel cakes, sweet All you can eat A Ferris wheel To make you squeal, The carousel Sure looks swell Toss a ring To win something, Pop a balloon You'll get it soon Try to get that prize Go for the biggest size, Win a pet if you wish Take home a goldfish Stay there all night For every sound...

the good The doors to my mind and heart circle as revolving doors. A peek inside and you see happy memories and joyous events, the loves, and lifelong friendships A cul-de-sac, though a dead end, has a circular finish, a merry-go-round that accumulates happiness as it spins into a cloud of beauty and nature, compassion, gods, and faith. The breathless moments in life, birth, newness, novelty, exuberance in...

Dour ferris wheel, are you haunted? Dark a place to sit peacefully, enjoy a spell if you’re lonely; Disguised cloaked in what I wanted, my insecurities flaunted; False eyes like you understood me; Dour ferris wheel everything inside you taunted; Needling me repeatedly low lights glow spectacularly; Your gloom never left me daunted, Dour ferris wheel....

Heart desires seeks, even as we weep. Cyclic pain and joy, as ordained, does wax and wane, immersing us in fear, for we know not when, Gods gifts are taken back. 08-June-2021 Waltz wave contest poetry contest Sponsor: Kim Merryman A Waltz Wave has 19 lines with a syllable count of: 1,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,3,4,3,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,1....

The Ferris wheel rotates, altering views, each moment in time having appeal for the knower, who has so seen, thus frolicking in delight, at the cyclic movement, leaving for others to colour life by free will choosing joy ~ in this play we yet see frowning faces and fearful glances, of contracted soul forms, entrapped in past or future, akin to a dead man walking, frittering away the gift of life, employing their own free...

some other world passed by that night through wet circles on the glass. against the blur of dark and light crowds swarmed and walked en-masse. the storm picked up along South Shore spitting patterns on the screen. the wipers rubbed and squeaked once more leaving fan shapes where they’d been. the lights that danced above the clubs were synced to move like real. they chased...

The electrifying ferris wheel ride Make my mind spinning around This foolish heart beating like drums I feel weak with your charms And I can no longer hide With you, I feel safe and sound. One minute I am thrilled on top The other minute I am falling under Till this excitement came to a stop Until now, I am still amazed by its...
