LPiA-25 Nov. 4

[busker]

she rolled in like a Gypsy
riding the west wind
promising the sky to the horizon.

Safety guaranteed,
I gladly stood in line waiting
for her to punch my ticket. …. An amusement park ride. Also, a woman who has…options  

I boarded too late to realize
that ride was more than
my heart could stomach … an amusement park ride and also an infatuation. There could be an actual girl ticket clipper, or the ride could be a metaphor.

Good gosh. This pome admits two different meanings, all within the constraints of LPiA.
Great iob!

Anticipation

It's not the speed, or rickety wheels,
nor even the sudden dips and falls.
It's the mind game of it all, the hill,
the slowly inching upward, click...click …. Great lines!!!
...click.---then: teetering on the brink.
Three seconds of hell as time stands still
and knowing there's a fall. It's a taunt.
Check exits: none. A twist in the gut,
a sinner's breath before confession.
