Last Rodeo Night, @Antimon – A reluctant rodeo clown must face his most terrifying opponent yet. It’s usually a red rag that arouses the bull, not a red nose.
Sideshow Sanctuary, @Starbeast – The line between monster and freak show super-star is wafer thin in this disturbing tale of a creature who binges on bottled bambinos.
Shortfellow percussion (for Wa’ds worth), @chrispenycate – A story of an train-bourne eldritch carnival that transcends time and space, this poem is rich with classical inspiration.
The Fatal Attraction of Fast Food, @Kerrybuchanan – The story of a ‘clown’ that doesn’t love kids, other than to eat. You need to be quick on the draw to catch that kind of food.
Breaking the Chains, @Joshua Jones – Enslaved by circus-running dinosaurs, a young man is forced to build the very railroad that transports them when salvation comes from an unlikely, yet familiar, quarter.
The Freak Show, @Ajid – A whimsical rhyme about an outlandish place, full of weird and wonderful (yet seemingly friendly) creatures. Come on in and enjoy the show but beware, they believe in audience participation...
Come See, @paranoid marvin – Another poetic entry that details a carnival of classic cowboy carnage. Relive their war against the indigenous peoples but beware, it is
very realistic.
