God That ferris wheel looks a bit rickity, now i look back at it we were a bit brave to go on it back then.
Thanks guys and yes it was definetly rickity to say the least!!
Hi Ged
Inspired by the photograph you posted. :PDT11
Nothing to Hide
The couple neck high
on a rickety ferris wheel
above the muddy beach,
the forsaken fairground;
no one else to brave
the Tunnel of Love, gamble
a shot for a Valentine bear.
The gondola sways
in the New Brighton breeze,
lips, tongues, hands, swarm:
intrepid explorers, for
a lifetime or just now,
dangling in mid-air.
