Carousel: a merry-go-round / a rotating machine or device, a revolving case or tray used for storage or display. / a tournament or exhibition in which horsemen execute evolutions.
Carousal: a wild, drunken party or celebration.
How to Carousel: spin until you see fairies riding unicorns. Weave fresh baked rainbows, Jousting chevaliers with lances will build the framework. Spray some child´s laughter over mermaid´s lullabies for a gentle spin. Don´t let the horsemen Celebrate till breakdown, else Police will show up.
Senryu 3 of 26 I´ll be doing this april to participate in #AtoZChallenge, #NaPoWriMo and #CampNaNoWriMo. Did you like it? Don´t be shy, leave a comment. I´d love if you add a blog hop so I can visit your post, too.
This is my Spanish haiku counterpart: C de Carrusel. Why, do you ask? My wonderful crew, #NaNoTribuMX started a micro stories challenge in Spanish this month. (We´re still voting the words we will use this month).
The team’s theme of the April Blogging from A to Z Challenge this year is:
ACCOMPLISHING YOUR DREAMS, AND THE DUALITY OF 22; to see all cool bloggers participating this challenge, you can click on the Master List of #AtoZChallenge.
Today’s NaPoWriMo‘s prompt: to write a poem . . . in the form of a poetry prompt.
If you are participating on these challenges, I wish you good luck and lots of success. 😀

If I spin to much I may end up spraying something other than laughter. Luckily carousels are more gentle than the teacups or tilt-a-whirl.

haha, I almost sprayed my laptop with coffee. I remember the time we rode on the carousel with my kids (college) and my son in law, instead of horseys they sat on one of those cups to make it spin faster, and at the end they were so dizzy, they could barely stand. XD

Yes, they’ll all have to keep the frivolity to a minimum. Definitely don’t want to police to bust-up such an ethereal event!

Agree! Police has a record of crashing parties with drunken unicorns. Maybe that´s why they don´t invite us to many parties lately.

I like the word carousel better than merry-go-round, although I’ve only ever called them merry-go-rounds. Lovey poem. “spin until you see fairies riding unicorns” I quite like that!

Nice fanciful poem with a cautionary dose of realism at the end.

Thank you! of course, one can´t be too cautious, a night on a cell with unicorns, knights and fairies can get a bit stuffy.

Carousels filled with magic and delight! What’s the old saying? It’s all fun and games until the police show up.
