Creative Writing - The Circus

Describe a carnival, theme park, a circus or a fairground attraction My visit to the circus was as divine as the beauty of heaven! The stage was full of big, fat, colourful clowns, with curly orange wigs. I laughed at them, as they joked around, making me feel excited! Some smaller children were torn between screaming and being in hysterics. The next act was waiting, an elephant balancing on a big ball. I could feel the hard bench beneath me, as I smelt the manure of exotic animals. The mustard of the hot dogs I’d been munching on, lingering in my mouth. Rolling into the centre stage, on its ball, the elephant was bigger than the roof. Emmanuel, the elephant gave an electric performance. It gave a trumpeting roar, I thought, doesn’t this remind you of a jungle? The acrobats attracted my attention, swinging awesomely from the trapeze. They leapt around the big top like a monkey from a branch. ‘Look out! Look out!’ I cried, worried that the acrobats would fall into the audience. What techniques can you spot here?

My favourite school trip was an evening at the circus! The big top stood in the field, like a mountain of canvas rising out of the cool, lush, green grass. Inside it was dark and mysterious. It smelt of dry hay, popcorn and candy floss. I moved to our row of seats, benches and benches and benches. Sitting down the red painted top was smooth. We all excitedly waited, whispering in hushed tones. We couldn’t wait. Could you? A smartly dressed man finally stepped into the spotlight, cracking a whip and calling out: “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, roll up, roll up, to the Greatest show in the galaxy!” The show exploded with dancing clowns; snake charmers, tightrope walkers, bears, prancing elephants and chimpanzees who did the moon walk! The tent hummed with energy. Suddenly sparkles rained slowly down as a slim and sexy contortionist screwed herself up into impossible positions. I loved it! However, all too soon, it was time to go. Simon Cowell was tight! A night at the circus is the best entertainment ever…!
