A Clown Crying

Pete the poet

Clutching hands, twitching eyebrows

Expression wide face coming from nowhere

Tongue twisted in silence

Hair draped over his sombre face

With a crouched back, drooping ears,

That almost encircled his face

He is the crying clown of the daylight hours.

    There are two clowns the smiling and the sad, I always chose the sad when I played the clown. Here the sad is mixed with day a good balance as the night needs the smile. Nicely written Pete
