Carousel (IP:30)


from the ABC set Mind Stew (2009)

Love like snowstorms
Caught in glass globes,
You blow circles, dizzying.

I mount your carousel.

You buck and twist as
I grip your golden pole,
Watch the world swirl, swing.

Seriously ... I have always had a 'thing' about those little glass, glittery globes. They have always fascinated me.

Your poem sums up the sight, perfectly.

Hmm... I never saw anything like what Jen describes in one of those globes... did it come from Amsterdam?

(I liked this one Jen.)

'Love like snowstorms

- Loved the imagery of the first stanza! Such a compact poem that says so much ;) Well done!

Haha, Ewan, no, just two different images that sum up the dizzy, disorientating nature of love and sex...

Thanks for the comments, folks! 30 words seems so small, now I'm writing whole chapters of my 'novel' hahaha!

In fact, Ewan, I think it probably came from Geleen Straat, in den Haag:-)

That's the lovely thing about life - there are are many ways of looking at things. Now, I'm dizzy ... and I'm going to bed.

Excellent imagery - slightly-wicked but very good. I like it.

You buck and twist as
I grip your golden pole,
Yes, I think I see where you're coming from LOL. Great piece, well done and well deserving of the cherry!
