Clowns make life so much more enjoyable. I remember many from the circuses my mother and father took be to as a kid.

I am no clown, so why do people laugh at me
when I try my best to express what's hides within.......
a questionable soul.?
Peace be with you

I love this poem. Why? It is a feeling everyone has shared at some point and time thus far, in our lives. We just haven't had the guts to put our frustrations and inner sadness of our struggles to fame, on paper.
Thanks Georg. Reading it, eases the inner being, giving us all a push to never stop our path to success!

I needed to read this as well ... being disabled and not working, I have plenty of opportunities to feel sorry for myself, but I am trying not to let that happen. Yes, even clowns cry. Powerful poem, Georg; well penned!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :( |

Even with the tongue in cheek humor aimed at brother Ed this has a rich sadness about that does conjure a lot images to mind...like how the fair grounds always looked so empty and used up after the fair or circus had left town.

| Dear Georg, this poem is so well described and expresses the real circus atmosphere, missing only the audience but you brought it alive so that all who read this poem are the real audience. Please tell the clown that he should be proud of his performance, as he could attract us. Love Emile |

| Feelings of empathy drawn here by your poem, Georg. Emmett Kelley with the sad clown face is a childhood painting my great-grandmother, we called her Granny Banks, painted for each of us grandchildren. I still have mine. This is a little off topic, but your poem brought this to mind, that I saw a copy of that exact painting on a wall in a Walter Matthau movie. So, that being said, that as with your little sad poem here, art does imitate life and so on and so on and so on. Thanks Georg for sharing your gift and your heart. --- Starman |

| There are many ways to read this symbolically; yet, the message denotes aloneness regardless of where or when, and the "dry your tears man" seems to be telling us that we should choose happiness even when things aren't all we want them to be. |
