DEPARTURE OF THE CAROUSEL, by LOTUS J. COSTIGAN First Line: The merry-go-round / like a giant puzzle Last Line: In a turbulent, musical caravan! | |||
The merry-go-round, Like a giant puzzle, Is taken apart and packed in the van; Here a waving tail -- There a shining muzzle. But once a circle of chargers ran In dappled pairs at a furious pace, Neck and neck, an endless race, In a turbulent, musical caravan! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE POET SPEAKS by LOTUS J.
