The Ghosts of a Closed-Down Carnival

By Saywisely

The Ferris wheel, a metal spy,
Stares blankly at a winter sky.
The ticket booths, with peeling paint,
Recall a joy, now old and faint.

The ghosts of laughter, spun-sugar sweet,
Still haunt this lonely, gravel street.
A colorful and rusted cage,
Turned by the wind, a single page.
