Haiku Circus

Haiku

Circus

 

Under the big top

Three rings of amazing sights

We’re all children there

Swing on the trapeze

Amazing feats in the air

Girl in jeweled crown

 

Lions, tigers, bears

Dancing and jumping through rings

Elephants walk tall

 

High wire acrobats

Death defying without net

Hear the breath sounds here

 

Trick ponies perform

In headdress and braided tails

Counting, paw the ground

Horses galloping

With pretty girls on their backs

Balancing they stand

 

Acrobat Jugglers

Throw many balls in the air

Standing ten men high

Laughter fills the air

Painted faced clowns fill the ring

Bringing down the house

 

Tents come down at dawn

Laughter and joy everywhere

On to the next town

This is really nice! Thanks!

I see in your writing potential for childrens' books; this was soo sweet again. I like the simplicity in the expression, it has a special attractiveness and it bears that what interests or pleases adults and stimulates children, yes. (thanks a lot for reading my recent 2 pieces, my dear !)
