Circus

A story of shows and tricks

They come with lights, noise, and color

A traveling show,

One like no other.

Out in the sun,

or even the rain,

Go outside the normal,

escape from the pain.

Come one,

Come all,

lights are upon you,

Be wise not to fall.

All the freaks,

looking their best,

All the freaks,

The same as the rest.

In moving from place to place,

The costumes may change,

But we never forget a face.

So on and on it plays,

living together,

traveling for days.

And we think there's time,

For another time to go.

Until you realize,

Your life is the show.

This is such a beautiful, impressive piece. I love the rhyming and the the way the poem was written. I absolutely loved the ongoing theme with the circus. The way the poem takes on a darker undertone makes it feel cinematic almost, as if the people in the circus are real. It feels so vivid and like I’m watching a movie. This is a beautiful poem going in my favorites. Thank you for sharing!
