carnival ride

by Kristina Woodhill

racing a flat tire
legs pumping the ferris wheels
rims kiss the fair ground

Great last line. What a terrific image.

HAHAHAHA! Somehow this event had to be a "ku". Terrific, and very colorful.....a high mileage model, indeed. Delighted. Thanks.

A scary thought, especially in traffic. Neat descriptiveness. Reminds me of the time my U-joint broke in Friday night traffic. Slugging along at about 20mph, with a lot of impatient drivers behind me. Maybe there's a poem in there too. :o)

That poor rim, not to speak of the tire! Quite an analogy!
