It made me think of how life can become that way sometimes. You said "Won't someone let her off?" so that made me think of the times when life is spinning out of control and there's nothing you can do about it. That was the purpose, correct?

Intriguing. Excellent use of descripiton, it's vivid, yet not to the point where one finds it over-done. You used all of the right words, and I find it quite perfect.
"faster and faster and faster
she is born lives dies
faster and faster and faster
she laughs screams cries
faster and faster and faster
the music plays a childhood tune
faster and faster and faster…
won't someone let her off?"
This paragraph in particular, is quite strong in my opinion. Then with what follows it, it is sheer perfection.
Excellent job, darling.
Keep writing.

Eery and well-written. I love the third last stanza and the last stanza. In the first stanza, it seems like it should be something other than "grey city" because the whole poem is about the carrousel, and a city is never mentioned.

That was really amazing. I could see the girl, the carrousel, her life. You used vivid detail but still left certain things up to the reader. I really like the repetitive use of the word "grey" and the stanze in which you keep saying "faster and faster and faster". At first, I thought that it might be good to put more punctuation into the aforementioned stanza, but after reading the poem again, I've changed my mind. Left as is, it gives you that whirling sort of feeling, and really does make the stanza faster to read and take in.

So... I like it. A lot. :)

That's very beautiful and haunting, but there is a slight repetitiveness to the word "grey" in the first stanza. While I get that you want to stress it, it's done a little too much. I really like this. It's both beautiful and creepy, but it's got something really special too. Great job.

Beautiful. It's brilliant, very striking. The last stanza is very powerful. Thankyou.
