Classic and Contemporary Poetry
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!
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!
