Fire-dancing, acrobats!
Bearded Lady - giant cats -
The very air so musky it is free!
With each clutter and each clatter -
All around the ring is chatter -
It's no wonder they are called the Circus Freaks
Yet the latter word is harsh;
And the people not so coarse,
Free to come and go as ever they shall please
Ah! Such freedom! I would borrow
But with never-ending sorrow
I am not a bird with all that strong of wings
"Circus Freaks"

:iconbirdybop: does poi (including fire poi) and has been asking me to do something artistic as an interpretation of his dance-art. I suppose this is one way of doing it, though I'm PRETTY sure he meant a drawing.

Anyway... fire poi was the catalyst for this poem.
