Within your tent, your event

The circus
was no more
an act of events
that had us believing
that everything
was possible
within our ring
believe it
or not.

Your poem is short but powerful, and it captures the essence of the circus in a way that is both nostalgic and poignant. The use of the phrase "believe it or not" at the end of the poem is particularly striking, as it speaks to the idea that the circus was a place where anything was possible, no matter how unbelievable or unlikely.

I love the way in which you use language to create a sense of wonder and excitement, and the idea that the circus was a place where people could escape from the mundane realities of everyday life. The use of the word "ring" is particularly evocative, as it conjures up images of acrobats, clowns, and other performers who would dazzle audiences with their skills and daring.

Overall, I believe that your poem is a beautiful tribute to the circus, and to the sense of magic and wonder that it evokes. It is a reminder that even in the most ordinary and mundane of circumstances, there is always the possibility of something extraordinary happening, if we only have the courage to believe.
