| (5.0)   HI Fyn! I am so enjoying revisting your port with its fab collection of poems. I admire your word wizardry. The title rocks and what a unique yet logical title for this interesting piece, which looks to be based on a true event? Sounds real anyway.I felt so happy when people wanted to save the old fashioned merry go-round as a historical landmark. It must have been something to witness. The pictures are beautiful and add to the story you tell. The first verse makes the carousel glow and come alive with with active verbs like "burst" and "gyre". Your descriptions is vivid and sets the place and time. I bet the horses were lovely works of art. The imagery and language of a stampede is carried through the whole poem. Brilliant!  Comparing the crowd coming to a wave on the beach is precious too as it fits in with the local and the fact that the carousel had held its own against worse storms. The descriptions of the crowd circles and horses were vivid and I could get a sense of the energy gathering to protect this source of so many memories. The collective and the showing the pride of the New Englanders was well shown and reminiscent of old towns in the past. Protecting their territory from outsiders! The tone was potent as well. Free rein style suited the movement and flow of this poem and the alignment on the page was appealing and each verse had a different feel that fit the theme of each. Where the horses were felt fast pace and the tight weave mimicked solidarity. Good job. The last lines lines felt profound:"between the condos and the sea". Gives me pause to ponder. A happy ending. Thanks for sharing this unique expression in honour of this magic of old.  Light on the path as you write on!  A Review from "Simply Positive Review Forum " !
