Seeking The Shine

by michaelcahill

the carousel slowly turns

easy access
falacious colorful fantasy mounts
await a willing rider
children of all ages
find a cushy satin saddle

ponies with wings
unicorns with blaring horns
securely fastened
strapped in tightly
the journey begins

the envious throng
crane their necks
keeping an eye
on their lucky traveler
smiles saturate sensibilities

Satan polishes with panache
anticipation feverishly grows
he extends his hand
all grab for the
shiny brass ring

the carousel slowly turns

the carousel slowly turns

the carousel slowyl turns
