Carousel of Life

Cherished dreams of yesterday Vibrant desires

Carousel Of Life

"Silky tendrils of bright sunlight

dance across life's vibrant carousels,

where hearts reach for gleaming golden rings,

as time quickly glides by....

Melodic music plays Hide-N-Seek games,

as parading painted ponies,

adorned in regal splendor,

strut to ambling rhythm.

Sweet kisses

awaken precious moments …

  cherished dreams of yesterday,

once vivid, now gently fade away.

 New mornings, rich in vibrant desires,

with crisp white sheets flung back ... 

 warm, crimson hues fall ever so gently 

upon cool, misty dawns ~ unfurling softly.

Caresses continue, sweet kisses linger;

 love pours in, yearning only to stay …

 holding onto these fleeting moments,

longing to keep them forever undimmed.

The Carousel of Life … dancin' ’n prancin'

sweeps along its kaleidoscope journey,

lavishing, colouring each new dawn,

weaving ever-cascading moments

… of joy’s mystical memories

into life’s magnificently endless

tapestry of time.

Ahhh, Lisa, our ever-so talented Poetess🎖️

Life's carousel of memorable times woven into a tapestry … what a beautifully metaphorical way of putting such enthrallment into the powerfully expressive Free Verse form.
Your syntax and diction are exceptionally well-rendered, punctuation and poetic voice virtually dance 'n prance around and 'round down the page.
So many fond times recalled from my youth and romantic endeavors sweep through my senses … I love the entirety of this one, Lisa. Only wee hint is to add a free space above the artwork, and above and below the title. Oh, yeah … your color choices tie picture and poem together so very well. Then, the carousel pony ending ties it all up in a bow.

I can hear the calliope now, playing its jaunty tune into my heart's boyish smile.
Thank you, Dear Lady-Poet, for sharing this wonderfully special poem! ⁓ Richard🖌

I am thrilled to get such a wonderful review from an expert poet as you dear Richard.
I did notice that there needed spacing and although i did do it on manage and saved it it did not work...but that was yesterday so i will try again.
I thank you so so much for your care in reading my work and reviewing it...
Yes, life is truly like a Carousel...full of hope and promise...

A glance back in time brings vivid memories of yesteryear … fun loving, soft kisses , riding those colorfully painted wooden carousel horses… ( which by the way my great grandfather carved in Hungary) brings back memories to me as well; lovely poem Lisa….” Dancin and prancin”🌷
Warmly

Isn’t it wonderful how reading a poem can bring back memories!
And, little by little I am getting to know more about you.
Fascinating that your grandfather carved carousel horses. Did he paint them too? My husbands father was born in Selves,Hungary…which is now part of the Ukraine….
So that is where your creativity came from 🥰

[Betty Hermelee]

yes, he painted them too! My dad, also my sister are artists...

this poem was just wonderful. it's packed with so much colourful imagery, but also wisdom. that we should enjoy life, feel ecstatic, feel exuberant is the proper way to lead one's life. this is not not just a poem with some whimsical lines, there is a lesson here as well.

I think most of my poems have a message so I am delighted you saw this in my Carousel poem. I think you might like Gone...or G or Awaken (another favorite of mine) all quite different.

I just wish to say this but sometimes some people is just shy to review poems, As they feel they have nothing worthwhile to say as the poem is gorgeous or in the other hand maybe they just can not yet understand the poem. And I am similar with them. I also sometimes have nothing to say worthwhile to avoid wasting someone's time i wish not to review it. But since you asked. Plss do not give your poems worth because of reviews or views. This poem is actually lovely.

[Lisasview]

I understand what you are saying Snow but it is always good to know what someone feels from my poems. I do think it is very important to review as it helps the reader to understand marabout what they are reviewing...If that makes sense.
I am just very happy to know you liked it.

Thanks lisa..

[emmajoygreen]

I once wrote that memories wait for us, wanting to be found from time past. Must find it. Your precious words really mean something very personal: very Lisa. No doubt you alread know that.. but not everyone realises that words look for pre-made memories to find a special resting place.. home the finest and forever. Your writing always gives that impression, the letters are at home with you.

[Lisasview]

Something about the way you reviewed my poem really made me know that you 100% understand the true meaning...
Thank you so so much,
Lisa

[emmajoygreen]

I think I understand; sometimes words ring a bell and then, the mind ticks like crazy! Am always ready to read words that offer something special.

[Lisasview]

That is such a kind thing to say...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I have had so many of these thoughts lately....so much reminiscing...and introspection on where I am now and how I got there.
thanks for this,
j.

[Lisasview]

I do not know how old you are Jacob but somewhere along my life I started reminiscing..which is great for poem writing...
Glad you liked it...
Lisa

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Same as you, Lisa, on the age. I started writing poetry when I was in grade school, but only a couple...i really started seriously when I was 20.
Got a late start.

[Lisasview]

Sounds like me... I have the poems that I wrote when I was in school and as you know I wrote several after that starting in my twenties ... I posted many that I wrote when I was around twenty.
