A Poetic Three Ring Circus

A marveled crowd

Excited and proud

Expecting to be wowed

Watching everything

Enjoying circus bling

Action in each place

Bringing smiles to the ticket buyer’s face

Then a performer walked out

Confident and stout

Escorting diplomatic, partner jungle king

Spotlighting a frightful fling

Devilish dare he

A stunt everyone should see

Lion’s mouth goes the head

Death defying experience, he won’t end up dead

Then everyone cheers

Second earlier they showed fear

Another stage

Clown acting their age

Animated, escaping from a comedic cage

Taking a bath

Making their audience laugh

Riding a cycle having one wheel

Bought on sale, what a deal?

Attention switches wanting another scare

More individuals who love a dare

Carefully marching the tight rope

Balance used to cope

And those who fly through the air

Calling it a family affair

Worthy of a friendly flair

Especially when one lets go

Destined to the nets below

Safe and sound

Comforted by the trusting arms of a clown

And the applause

Knowing it was a choreographed fall

When looking for answers

Three rings and a dancer

May achieve peace

Instead counting military deceased

Fighting a war

Where there is no musical score

Only an exit door

Luring the risk taker

Into greeting their maker

Next time you need a thrill

Check out the amusement marquee bill

Get your rollercoaster fill

Let the Cotton candy disappear

Not requiring you to shed a tear

Only a message to heed

Planted entertainment, peaceful seed

Cultivating healthy feed

Filled with a nutritious feel-good deed
