perched
high up

Fairground Attraction

Home from fairground -
hungry
Admiring delightful
colours, aromas.
Feast - 
carrots, sweetcorn, peas...
Rotates in microwave
- Carousel

To pen the silence

I like to listen to my head
What does this carousel say
Spontaneously
I like to pen the silence
If it had not been written
It would be lost forever.

Cosmic Carousel

Band organ booms, chimes,

one-way-one-trick ponies spin;

bright lights, night young, don't

look back, turn fast enough and

time will disappear and shine.

Premium Member Carousel

Is there no way left to go but round?
the scenery uncomfortably familiar
dizzying remorse
exhausted excuses
hoarse from screaming,
I LOVE YOU!

Unfolding your 
Paper mache wings
Greeting this
Reddish brown
Mahogany wind 
Yes, sweeping 
These golden leaves, 
Swirling you, again
Around this 
Pink carousel

Carousel of Life

Life and love for me is like a carousel

It goes round and round
But I can never tell

Is it the next time 
That I hear the bell

Then all will
Be well

Seasons travel in time
Mood and weather swings the chime
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
Birds, trees play 'round 'til nightfall
Seasons change year round, turn 'round!

Emotions Spinning

a kaleidoscope of vibrant darkness
in my mind
that leaves my emotions spinning
like a fairground ride

wild horses 
escape the carousel
by night

and dreams enclose me

Was Wierd Story To Tell

Had Heard Weird Story To Tell

We had heard a weird story to tell,
And decided to set for a short spell;
Rumor leak;
Reached peak;
Came crashing down on a carousel.

On Life's Carousel

Dont let this chance pass by.
In duration
As long sat, spins for it.
Boils may bring on!

Out to world's spectacle
A real fairground's
To gaze, if in a blur.
Grin, if confounds.

Horses on the carousel
Running down an endless trail
Colors whirling to the tune
Childhood ending sometime soon
May our life this circle be
Will you come and spin with me?

Premium Member Ghostly Girl

Ghostly girl with the black carousel dress.
If you stuplified those children you must confess.
I see through your sockets and I glimpse a smile.
Your mind is as cunning as a sly crocodile.

Woodland wonders

A pine cone falls
on a silvan carpet
and transmutes
into jade, crystalline gems
shot through with stars
and moonflower smiles
in the fairy carousel
by fevered candlelight
of reverie.

Premium Member Carousel

   carousel whirls round and round 
       horses climbing up and down

    few riders smiling 
       most, teardrops crying

    calliope’s adversity
       three minutes an eternity

AND ROUND WE GO

AND ROUND WE GO

And round we go
The carousel of life spins fast
And round we go
So few have anything to show
Eventually it stops at last
Yet the cycle of life is vast
And round we go

Mississippi Moon

able flight
we ride 
your carousel
we shall
becomes an
island of
birds weaved
tightly in
this spiritual
dance that
brings the
drifting
gray tides
towards
the mouth of
the Mississippi
moon

Chemo

My therapy is chemical,
I go for weekly sessions.
My artery is femoral.
The site of my injection.

The venom attacks 
the mitosis of my splitting cell.
Dyspepsia takes over,
like a spinning carousel.

White House With Cute Carousel

White House with Cute Carousel

White House had contained a cute carousel;
When Trump would sit there for short spell;
It had  to rain;
Water on brain,
And golden shower he couldn't stand smell.

Stubborn Soul

Going around and around on the carousel.
Hearing the whispers to let go of the living.
On and on, no I will no accept.
Stubborn? So what, I did not choose to be a ghost.
Truth is what I have to accept?
