Excellence Award in the 'Legendary 2012' competition

The gleaming lights everywhere,
The faces flickering through the crowd.
The smell of popcorn through the air,
The haunting music ever so loud.
Children's screams pierce the night,
From rides with everlasting bends.
The faceless clowns with empty eyes,
The Carnival that never ends.
