CAROUSEL

Moving staircases and Horses carved and painted 

Musical delight 

 

Upward spirals Hypnotic and charming 

Elegant golden floral most calming 

 

Round and round up and down

Carousel or merry go round ?

A circular parade 

Of which very few are afraid 

 

You always get one crying though 

Saying "stop its too fast".. but its really slow

 

Simple sweet giant musical box 

Like the one that Mary Poppins rocks

 

The scent of candy floss in the air 

Magical carousel  fantastical Fair

 

Fairgroundcarouselmerry go round

I love carousels. They are a joy but also have a hint of menace or tragedy. Thank you for this poem.
