Like an Amusement Park

You roll, you fly, you spin, you try
Like a rollercoaster
Time spins and twirls
If you survive it
You’ve sure earned a pearl
Like the flying saucer,
It swirls really fast
You feel sick
But you want it to last
Like the merry-go-round
It takes you to the top
The world seems beautiful
But soon it’s time to swap
Like the free fall
You wait for the time
To be dropped from above
You pay a dime
Like the pirate ship
You start your life slow
You should know when to stop
Or your mind it will blow
Like the ghost train
You see the dark side of life
Enjoy it while you can
Coz soon there will be light
Like the Frisbee
You go forth and back
The rides over soon
And then you’re back on track
Like the electric chair
You bump into rides
Take some time to slack
And choose a side
Life’s an amusement park,
Try all the rides,
Scary as it may seem,
Just take the flight.

I was amazed at the comparison two. Soon you'll be seeing part two of the amusement park vs life
BRENDA ARLEDGE from Washington Court House on August 01, 2019:
Nice symbolism using rides at a fair to compare to the ups and downs of living life.
Good write.

Life can certainly be a bit of a roller coaster ride and I love the way your poem explores this. Great writing.
