Have fun.


Carn(evil)

Once, a chilly summer's eve
The smallest boy you've ever seen
He wiped his nose onto his sleeve
And walked alone, alone, alone

He heard some children laugh and cry
He stopped his feet and glanced his eye
To find a coaster standing high
And walked alone, alone, alone

Zipping up his jacket tight
He then resumes his wander night
Guided by carnival light
And walked alone, alone, alone

He heard the screaming of the crows
As he passed the freaky shows
All the bottles stacked in rows
And walked alone, alone, alone

Sniffling with utter remorse
He interrupts a tear in course
As he darts under a horse
And walked alone, alone, alone

He had reached the playing flute
There, the Giantess, ripping food
He said hello, but she was shrewd
And walked alone, alone, alone

The little boy then hit the ground
Pushed by silhouetted clown
And in an hour the boy came 'round
And walked alone, alone, alone

The boy took any leave he take
Dashed for the pier, for safety's sake
He tripped and fell into the lake
And swam alone, alone, alone

He struggled hard without a muse
And yet the lake was thick as glues
He shrieked for help, but yet no use
And drowned alone, alone, alone

that boy wasn't alone, i was on this journey with him. you took me there. Great writing. I loved the repetitive last line in each stanza and the clever turn in events and phrase in the last two lines.
