I worked at the circus a week or two
selling programs and lights then scooped sno-cones too
I didn't know til the very last day
whether I would go or stay
waited too long to rent a room on the train
that was the reason I remained
just graduated from high school
running away with the circus sounded cool
Author's Notes/Comments:
WPOM poetry prompt...write a poem about the circus....mine is a true story...a friend of mine from HS ended up going with the circus and she worked there for years...I was not sure if I was going or not til the last minute but I waited too long to rent a room on the train so there was no more space left so I did not go...I told my mom if I don't come home tonite that means I went with the circus...drove that poor woman crazy sometimes...with the crazy stuff I would do...
:)
I think I might be running away with the circus soon. Or we are just gonna create our own. Your poem made me smile.
