Carousel

Carousel

By:Lorraine Pearson

March 2006

 

Jeweled horses on display

Calliope pipe music plays

Blur of colours circling 'round

Dreams to sell in dizzy spells

 

Lonely hearts on Carousel

Strangers meet lives parallel

Reaching out with desperate hands

Eyes search for a longing glance

 

Round and round and round and round

Reflections in the mirrored lights

Round and round and round and round

A hologram's magical night

 

Teasing brass ring in mid air

Captivating every stare

Lean to grasp it as compelled

Hearts have merged on Carousel

 

Round and round and round and round

Are colours spinning spells of love

Round and round and round and round

Things our dreams are all made of.

Interesting turn on the carousel. You must review mine called Merry Go Round. It was this that drew me here, to see your vision of the same inspiration. Quite remarkable and lovely poem!

I will say this poem is much like a carousel and like as it takes you on an emotional spin... and much like dreams the visuals can change in an instant... this is one of my favorites from you.

I love the carousel. It reminds of some visions that I have on film. I must go find them.
Thanks for bringing me back here...

Very nice visuals with this piece. I think I might even be dizzy after reading it!
Nice work.

Pretty as a double-decked carousel...like the one right next to the Eiffel Tower. How many turns on that I've bought for my daughter...I have no idea.

Such a nice way of touching on tenderness you have.

Thank you for your work.
