Quiet Circus
An art fair in a small town
Is cool … like a
Quiet circus.
It isn’t silent, by any means,
As there’s plenty of conversation.
“Where do you get the wood you use?”
“I found all these shells myself.”
“Who taught you how to hook rugs?”
“My horse paintings always sell well
In Midway.”
Even the beer guys have lots to say
About toasty flavors
About hops and sours.
And don’t miss the artistic
Pizza cones.
Next year, maybe a poet will
Open a booth.
“I can write you a verse while you drink
Your beer.”

Wonderful! And I love the idea at the end. A friend of mine in Chicago has done that for years, offering poems while you wait on a theme of your choice at street fairs for $5 a pop.
