Carnelian and Carbuncle were lovers

A secret they kept, undercover

Should the ringmaster ever find out

They’d be fired for sure, there’s no doubt

Making the others keep the secret in tact

The circus clowns would, the master, distract

So they could meet under the tent, but, in a hurry

Time was so short, they would have to scurry

Running around, all over the grounds

Trying very hard, not to make any sounds

Entertaining the people, they were a sight to see

Two elephants, under the big top, making whoopee

Seems their secret was out, oh the shame!

And they had only themselves to blame

A lesson to be learned, never trust a painted face

Everyone knows, the clowns run the whole place

I think Michelle does this on purpose

Makes my writing become quite a circus

She comes up with these prompts

And my brain cells get stomped

Wondering what she has, next, for us

My poems begin with hogwash

Near the end, I pray, rather posh

But as you can see, I’m a true devotee

Hope I’ve tackled her words with panache

The sky hints of summer

Pastel colors blend, in warm shades

Of pink, and powder blue, cotton candy

And clouds, dripping vanilla ice cream

A circus brought to life

By the ringmaster above
