Step into the ring,

The spotlight burns bright

- a heat with unforgiving light.

Herding the big cats,

Clowning for the smiles,

Acrobatic feats launched on high,

Time spins slower in the cirque.

But those flames are quite a sight.

Two different versions of the same image. No poetry with this one as the lyric of the image stands on its own, I think.

However, I processed each a bit differently, to include the crop. Both versions speak to me for their own reasons, but what do you think?

I know a ghost story,

Told about a girl

Full of life, vigorous strength & dreams.

Flying into battle

With wings on her heels,

Heedless of the clamor and the screams.

Eyes on us

As the world burns.

Seeing what’s been done

By Bobby Wood’s

Favored son.

Eyes on us

The cruelty, the lies,

The bereft families’ cries.

And the anger

That tears all that was strong

Down to threads

Hanging limp

On a listing standard.

Swimming through the trees

Is quite easy,

When you don’t think about it.

Much like singing without breath

Or dancing on the backside of the moon.

The whimsy transports you

When life has no meaning at all

And when it means everything.

Life’s turns, whirls, twists and loops

And joy - a tumult that fills

The soundtrack of our days.

The “Ring Around the Rosie”

Is really about the Black Death.

A danse macabre telling

Of Life and its end.

We dance to celebrate,

To elevate,

To intoxicate

For release, and

To mourn.

Through it all

Life is a vicious cycle

Whether you dance with a smile

Or in denial.

Tearing a rent

In the firmanent,

There were a number of things

Barrie got wrong in the tale.

Most importantly, Pan’s name was Petra,

Not the famous Peter

That we all think we know.

Pan lives wild, that much is true,

Flinging her lissom body

With a howl of exultant feedom

And an abandon second to none

As her shadow skims the night skies.
