rich sweat floods

Color and music
The distant noise of the crowd
“Carnival!” he cries
“Daddy won’t you take me there?”
He can’t deny his sick child

What's the truth
     Carnival?

     tumultuous joy  ?

He fell into honey and almost drowned
We ran to his aid
He thanked us first grade
After tutoring us, we’re college bound

cotton candy clouds
puffy and sweet
they look like spun sugar
reminding me of a meditative carnival
I walk in the silence
appreciating the beauty of the sky

Premium Member Who Is Winning

who is winning?
me?
my bike?
the ferris wheel?
the loud carnival barkers?
or the boats?
the boy turned to see
amazed it was him
It might have been his first win

Backwater junction in a backwoods town
Rusty and creepier than a carnival clown
Timber rattlesnakes hide their slanted eyes
No one visits this woodpile, no big surprise

Premium Member spun carnival glass

her wings are spun carnival glass
effervescent, ethereal, evidence of heaven’s love
she is the messenger, to sooth us ahead of time
so death will not be unexpected and unkind

Carnival of Light

with a wedge of glass

we  split the rainbow

separate colors

into organized rows

of light

they stack

like dominoes

ready to topple

should we turn the lens

My dad sure did it! He shot all the targets down! Pick your prize, he said. That stuffed cat, bigger than me- Hard walking my tiger home.

Night at the Carnival


Love is lights that never stand still,
a thrill that echoes past the chill.
Shared cotton candy and smiles,
wandering through neon miles—
hearts afloat on the Ferris wheel.

The breeze makes them whisper to my delight
A carnival of blooms to announce spring’s might
In renewing all things; Nature’s way of life

    everyplace  in world is sanctuary

Her fun house fingertips tracing dews drenched, fruitions lips...
Felicities ferris wheel; twined, their voluptuous femme fixations
Sixty-nine pink balloons eroticas poesy, carnival caravan of love.

Carnival Sadness Day

Wednesday
,           wet confetti,
            undone fantasies,
            clowns, bomb shells
            Pierrots and Columbine
            sadness and ashes
             from carnival...!
