Wintergreen

The fair is a magical place, even if the games are rigged we sometimes we all don't mind being taken. We think on the crowds of all ages but with one smile, and we think of it as a unifying place. There will always be memories as a teen of the one purchases, one cotton candy to be shared, one candy apple, this ensure she doesn't mind eating behind you and will give you a kiss. Tight work with bringing back the memories Lady, thanks

Hey Meme

I'm so glad you got caught up in my nostalgic Ferris wheel ride.
It use to get me nervous but then I would start
to try and rock it back and forth. To scare my riding partner. LOL
Either way - it was always towards the end of the nigh before I would
get on. The line would be shorter. LOL

Nice to see ya buddy!!

Wonderful nostalgia... vivid... rich in detail... dreamlike flow...

Hi LilD

Memories can be dreamlike and sometimes we edit to fit
our current moments. Hope that makes sense. LOL
To this day I still love getting a funnel cake with powdered sugar
at the fair!
It's a must to enjoy while walking to your car.

Thanks for stopping by:)

I really like this one.
There's magic and nostalgia anyone could see themselves in.  Can almost smell the funnel cake and cotton candy.

Wonderful writing ✍

BIG LIKE

Hi PS!

It was the closest thing to flying I did at that age.
The lights for me were energizing. It made me so excited and
ready to experience the magic of youth with all of my friends.
The games too!

Thanks for stopping by and the RL amigo!

This was pure heartfelt poetic perfection. I adore how your lovely delve into waxing nostalgically collides with the sheer cleverness of your pen.

I felt the feather hair clips in my own hair and the freedom that we had as kids to just roam without much supervision in the summer time.... I loved elephant ears and those fair fries in the cup... yum!

Really impressive detail, which transported me right back to 'those were the days' kinda feels.

Well done, dear lady
🌹 💙

Hello B:)

Thank you so much for such this comment. You are spot on about the freedom to be kids. I was so excited the first time my parents let go of the
reins. Running around and having a blast with all of my friends. Some of the best memories of my life happened at the fair.

And I was super duper proud of my feather hair clips. I won them all by myself - no boy won them for me - just me and a great aim at balloons. LOL  

Thanks for giving me such positive feedback on this write.

On a different note
I just started the first episode of Yellowjackets!!!

Later chica!!

The ferris wheel of Love.   I would prefer the tunnel of Love myself.  Keep on writing.

Hey there Cisco!

The ferris wheel of love has a great view!  Can't say the same about
the tunnel but I can say it's a bit more private. LOL

I'm doing my best on the writing amigo
thanks for the encouragement:)

In the tunnel of Love we would be rocking tge boat,  LOL.

Dare I say that you're on a roll as of late?!  
It's always a sweet surprise to see you posting.  I'm glad that the creative fortune is finding you again!  
Everyone is already mentioning the nostalgia aspect of this write. But also the little details that make us smile and yet feel a bit of envy for such a memory.  The one part I notice, that stands out for me, is how you chose for the kiss to happen once they were on solid ground, and not while "up in the air", where things are iffy.  It's a kiss of strength.

What a happy thing to read this evening.  

(No, I won't mention how some wintergreen mints are pink. Because the world makes no sense sometimes!)

Inspiration comes from the strangest place. I like to play with my rings occasionally and spin them on my finger and I though about ferris wheels.  
True story!  How we all have mini ferris wheels on our fingers that we spin ourselves. Thought I'd blend it with some fair memories and the color of wintergreen. I love the vivid color of green.  
 
I was so tempted to write the kiss "up in the air" but opted out.  
It felt cliche. When I was up there I was so excited about the view.  
I'd never been that high in the air at that age so I wanted to take it  
all in.  
 
Pink mints are dumb!!  
Kinda like false advertising  
they should be wintergreen  
it even has the word winter in  
it to prepare you for the coldness!!  
If they are pink it should be bubble gum  
flavor or cotton candy!!  
Just saying. LOL  
 
Holy crap - that was a bit of a rant - yikes

Dear A,

What a throwback to life when it was as carefree as it can be for a kid! We had a fair every summer and I used to love trying to win things. The roller coaster was my ride of choice. What a thrill. But the Ferris wheel allowed a view like no other. Freedom and fun and guys and candy. Loved this piece and the wonderful nostalgia it brought back. H🌷

Hi H!!

Yes - when it only comes around once a year - it was always such a closing impact for summer. Ours always came around August. Still does.
Right when school starts back up. We share school schedules - see who has the same classes. Bumping into people you haven't seen in a while.
Great times!!

Glad you enjoyed it!!
Always nice to hear from ya:)

ahhh....made me smile and tingle ♥

Hi Hash:)

I enjoy giving people smiles and tingles. It means I'm doing my job as a writer so thank you for that. hahaha

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a read:)

This is wonderful. Full of excitement & fresh opportunity. I'd always encourage writers to revisit their youth. I have, in many poems, some you haven't seen yet, I dare say! But anyway... when looking back, isn't it funny how you don't feel any different in terms of your impulses or feelings, even if just for a minute?

Hey there Billy!

yes - even today I still get excited about new opportunities - whatever they may be. In writing and in life. Capturing that feeling reminds us to enjoy life and don't try and overthink everything. Who want's to be the older grouchy lady - Not Me!! LOL

Thanks for enjoying my time travel in this piece.
Glad you enjoyed the ride amigo!

Well Howdy!!!!

What a sight for me to see you on my page buddy:)
Thank you!!!
The fair is just around the corner.

I hope life has been treating you wonderful!!

Thanks for the RL
Woop Woop!!!
