Best Carnival Poems

From the fairest fresh of spring,
beauty thrives in blissful wonder
so do with youthful invitations cling
to arms that cast this spell I'm under.

All dreams replete in perfect rhyme
before a single furrow's sewn
in no less mockery of time
the hand of God hath surely grown.

If left to peace...

Come, let us all be merry,
For gay carnival is here.
The brass bands are in full swing,
And liquor is free. 

Many were dressed in costumes,
The fancier dressed galore,
Trucks decorated in fun.
Fireworks hued the sky.

The carnival is coming to town
Double ferris wheel is my favorite
Corndogs and caramel apples on a stick 
Give my tastebuds a treat!

She kissing my lips so softly 
Wet pink; saying, just breathe 
Baby lay back and enjoy whileas..
The neon lights burst into a million 
Teddy bears fluffy bright ecstasy 
A colourful carousels midways
Deep sea stars magical ride....

Piqued my soul
Carnival playing
Visiting
Honor hold
Wishing for happiness free
Piercing heart

Playing card
Proving other death
Falling down
Seeing more
Taken it all for granted
Hurting heart

Oh probing hearts....

How you long for these things

Reaching toward the stars

Holding this golden lantern

Of desires and dreams

As if they could ever cure, or fill

These wanting's inside?

Merely to only realize, again

That they are but a fleeting, in time

Standing upon the shores, alone

Within your searching eye's

The sand's...

My muse is like a carnival,
a celebration of kaleidoscope colors,
a dazzling display of light and sound.
Circling slowly until I feel dizzy.
	Will I crumple and fall?

A house of mirrors
with peculiar shapes and sizes
evoking flustered feelings
and contorting my cognitive map.
	Which avenue shall I follow?

A tunnel of love...

Its carnival season again in Trinidad
The whole country in a party mood
With steel pan, soca and calypso
Beautiful women and all kind of food

It has a big show in Skinners Park
Tonight in san Fernando
And we boys from 2nd street
We all getting ready to go

When we reach...

Together we sway
to the rhythm. Coconuts
squash the romance quick....

Under a sun scorched sky,
I stood on the dust of your shores.
Before opening my eye,
to the wonder of your worlds.
Without perceiving the temple
I had entered to worship,
to your altar, I pedaled,
pleading case with trembled lip.
An apparition, desperately drifting.
Encircled streets, city's nightscape.
Your tangible soul tittilating, escaping.
Another...

And the revelers move in a parade
Belly dancers, clowns and people with masks
Ending with music, food and dance
This a preparation for the arrival of LENT
What kind of repentance is this ??
Parading your sins before the world ??
We have it in Goa and little clubs in...

Colored lights
radiated dull
skies’ darkness;
Laughter mounts,
organ pipe resounds joyous,
drawing in more crowds.

Scrambler whirls
head spins all around;
Tummy flops
bright lights fade
hot dog and soft drink escapes,
into waiting crowd….

The aide will aid you right away
Names of guests are guessed today
Wines not allowed, don't whine aloud
Drop your watch and watch the crowd

Don't nod your head you may be gnawed
And still be still and not applaud
The band is banned to play Do- Wop
Don't break the...

Cotton candy treat
Ferris wheels and carousels 
Amazing fun house...

With cotton candy 
Pink and dandy,
Funnel cakes, sweet
All you can eat

A Ferris wheel 
To make you squeal,
The carousel 
Sure looks swell 

Toss a ring
To win something, 
Pop a balloon 
You'll get it soon

Try to get that prize
Go for the biggest size,
Win a pet if you...
