Carnivals and the homecoming parade, <br />it’s autumn and I’m in second grade. <br />The Fun House. <br />(We never went in, every year we talked it over again.) <br />See the queens? Do you know their names? <br />Let’s go try the shooting game! <br /> <br />Summer’s over, <br />looks like winter’s on its way, <br />today’s the last carnival day. <br /> <br />The Ferris Wheel, the cotton candy, <br />“Time to go! Ya ready, Sandy? ” <br /> <br />People burning leaves, <br />woodhue fills the air, <br />mingles in your hair when the day ends. <br /> <br />Lying in bed, remembering as I did then, <br />Molly and Ronny, <br />Karen and Sue, <br />all of us in Jackson School. <br /> <br />The Carnival, the homecoming, autumn, <br />and my second grade friends.<br /><br />Moonchild Diva<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-second-grade-friends/
