Haiku
Circus
Under the big top
Three rings of amazing sights
We’re all children there
Swing on the trapeze
Amazing feats in the air
Girl in jeweled crown
Lions, tigers, bears
Dancing and jumping through rings
Elephants walk tall
High wire acrobats
Death defying without net
Hear the breath sounds here
Trick ponies perform
In headdress and braided tails
Counting, paw the ground
Horses galloping
With pretty girls on their backs
Balancing they stand
Acrobat Jugglers
Throw many balls in the air
Standing ten men high
Laughter fills the air
Painted faced clowns fill the ring
Bringing down the house
Tents come down at dawn
Laughter and joy everywhere
On to the next town
