Long Carnivals Poems

The entire Family moved into 
Their new home. Bigger better
Much more room which

Damian Amadeus, 9

SOLUTIONIST:
This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES... 
VERSE 1:

The winter that covers you in white, 
So innocent, yet so deadly if you let it sit on you too long, 
Suffocating you...

Continued from Part 1
Ah Consuela! I’m watching the vertigo veiling her green Spanish eyes,
while the drumbeat pounds, droning, the rhythm sounds, moaning,
                 of jungles Jamaican entwined
in the valleys concealing the vineyards revealing
                 the vaults in...

I've been thinking of a whole lot
None of the same old thoughts 
Never has it been about any jewelery or a gold watch
And the same could be said for having my soul lost


I'm not going...

In upstate N.Y., off lake Ontario.
Haunting my dreams, this memory.
Here's the scenario

A cold mild breeze blows
on this Saturday in mid October.
Nine friends decide on the town carnival
Drunk, high, far from sober.
Every town had a carnival

Poet Destroyer - Parades and Carnivals

Soft feathers gather up with color
On the wind to play as friends
They come floating first above the boulevard
Kind thoughts there elevate, somewhere between the innocence
Trumpets, drums and violins come thumping...

in cemeteries, a sensible

throwing roses into a hole.

impossible duck necks, 
tommy-gunning pop-up 

rubber gangsters all for a...

A memory of a forgotten time,
A then unrecognizable by the now,
Found under the worker's plough,
And heard when the church bell chimes,
But otherwise left to rot,
In era old crypts,
And fields of Forget Me Nots,
Only revealing herself...

ROLLER SKATES


In a green and white gingham dress,
On beloved streets in Chicago on
noisy roller skates, I flew.
I forgot girls dressed like girls, back

As I look outside I see,
the setting sun behind the trees
This summer day is ending now
The season too will soon be gone.

But the memories will last 
Until again the solstice comes
