Le Mysterieux Carnival
presents
La Faralla Cirque
use the key and
a door will open
Your journey begins
Down the path
You’ve arrived at the cirque
gates,
Take care now
Walk that little bit further!
the sky appears to move....faster
you feel light-headed, but wait. .
Someone greets you,
You’re so very close now
The lighting
illuminates all
you enter
Hello let me introduce you
To the Faralla Cirque
Faralla means butterly
We have a lot in store for you! Said a lady whom
played with a rose, her stare made you feel uneasy. .
The crew are here to put on a show.
an unusual but like-able lot.
You took your seat
The Faralla crew first put on a smoke performance.
.. the piano played an eerie melody.
The smoke act continued..
Then smoke filled the room and nothing
could be seen
Suddenly there was a gust of wind and the sound of an electric guitar!
The farfalla band.
The farfalle danced to the band.
Everyone jumped out of
their seats!
You felt the excitement
The performance came to a climax
You felt the excitement
The performance came to a climax
and fireworks finished the show of smoke with a bang!
It was time for interlude,
But the powder room was already engaged!
The people in the queue outside did not look so inviting
either
you leave the powder room and
the rather odd looking queue in a hurry.
the rather odd looking queue in a hurry.
the next performance was about to begin -
The baby dragon act
Next The Zombie skull man
They fluttered upon the heads of the audience,
Flick their ears and make knots
in hair!
They flew into a jar and then
somersaulted out into the air!
It was breathtaking!
somersaulted out into the air!
It was breathtaking!
the faralla made beautiful
lights everywhere, Interlude
you visited the sideshows!
Below a Faralla traineryou visited the sideshows!
One does not attempt to speak with her,
She has a high pitch screech, not
nice to ones ears.
Only the Faralla understand her.
The fortune tellers
an otherworldly sort.
Originate via the Faralla
woodlands.
Let them speak their business
then leave ..quickly.
The Faralla always fly home prior to the ending of the show.
After your experience at the sideshows you returned to your seatThe Cirque crew took to the ring,
A warm smile is in place from the crew
They blow kisses to the audience
as the curtain falls...
After all they want you to
return.
...But Before you leave one gives you a gift.
You are reluctant to take it, but do not wish
to offend,
You then place upon your face a forced smile.
You take your leave, someone
guides your way.
You walk the same path that you came.
...and eventually upon reaching the gates
turn around for one last glance . .
turn around for one last glance . .
You shiver, the cirque has
gone.
All that was in its place were
lots of Butterflies!
They began to fly in a swarm..
and got closer
The white flutters of wings turn to black...
The lilac - deep purple
The rose - bright pink. .
the wings then turn to only one
attached the small body of a rather strange person
- was this the true Faralla?
- was this the true Faralla?
You look upon your gift,
Your hair stands on end. . .
You thought that you saw something move!
Or was it just your imagination?
No the box transforms into a blank piece of paper!
The paper then transforms again before your eyes!
Your hand shakes
A Faralla appears
....the blank paper now full of colour!
Your hand shakes
A Faralla appears
....the blank paper now full of colour!
The image transforms again
..and again
you now see a face staring back at you!
Her eyes look sad but dangerous
you feel like your getting drowsy
you force yourself to blink!!!
The image changes again..
You drop the paper and run….
Your heart pounding, your hands still shaking!
You vow that you will never
visit a cirque again.
The gift, the box, the blank sheet of paper, it's transforming images...multiply!
A gush of wind lifted them from the ground, they drifted into the sky....
Has anyone seen the Faralla?
Love, light & peace

Magical, mysterious...enchanting. Thank you for this creation.
ReplyDeleteWhat a magical show! So much inspiration in this story. I come from a Bohemian heritage and I sometimes romanticize that I have some gypsy in me somewhere. Wishing you a happy holiday and hope your son is doing better.
