Carousel
Pondering horses on circular courses
A purpose with nowhere to go
Their manes set flailing, faces detailing
Refusing to heed to the whoa
Butterfly travels on opulent saddles
Tiny faces exposing their heart
Some feign distraction others crave action
The youngest need help at the start
Ticketed haste to a Wurlitzer pace
In air pumped with confection
The children exact, while their parents react
To a landscape of shifting complexion
Impressions regale, the innocence unveiled
A periphery of luster and worn smooth brass
Memories made on one perfect day
And you yearned it would never pass

What a magical memory you have shared, Pablo! ! ! And the poem, so prettily written too - its lyrical pace mimicking the sound of the Wurlitzer and the rising and falling of the brightly painted horses. Your first two lines in particular are a delight. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Rhymes add music to the form. Very nostalgic. One can only memorize the mood to make it last. Lovely, Pablo. Warm regards, Sandra
