painted ponies in their rows circus cronies infinite sorrows phony prances lost in stride just circumstances going for a ride what goes around must return timeless and bound in life's endless churn One's outlook can be another's expression. |

Life's a joyride, to be sure... sometimes with adrenaline and sometimes with nauseum... Cool visual. -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

WEll, the title gave me fond memories of the great carosels I've ridden as a child...the old songs, excitement, trying to catch the golden rings....the whirling happiness exploding from those wonderfully painted horses, children laughing, parents smiling with pride, or embracing their children...warm summer days...the smell of roasted peanuts in the air....and the circle of life being complete...even on a rainy day. YES? Good write, showing the other side of the coin, when times are not so nice. |

Just an example that not every ride is a "better" ride. Sometimes life isn't so merry ... ... those are the thoughts we usually forget. There is always "another" side! |

Like Mark said, sometimes a joyride. But sometimes a joyless ride. It's a blessing if we can tell the difference beforehand. |

The rides that go in circles make me sick at my stomache.... just the same as going through the same cycles over and over.... Enjoyed the way you used this in a poem..very thought provoking.... ~ARH  |
