Carousel, by Helen Ness

 

Breaking Away

by Jean McCallion

 

 

See me flex my muscles
           seek freedom
           leap sky high

      Earth beneath me
      heaven above me

I'll forgo the carousel's
           wheeled motion
           its wired music

      Blaring lyrics
    wooden riding. . .

  A recast Pegasus
      no longer tame

I'll enjoy height
    lilt of lift
tilt with a playful star

    My agile skill
will prove my hooves
wave my painted mane. . . .
