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

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