A touching write...there was a time in my life that I felt that I had to put on a smile for others, not wanting to share my feelings of trouble, so on the outside I smiled while on the inside I cried...those days soon passed, each day brought a ray of hope, the sun came up, I survived...and a joy returned to my heart and soul. I remember the tears well...a superior write, the artistic work is great as well makes a powerful combination!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

Stress can certainly make us feel like a clown at time but there is no humour in this write and I know you are struggling my friend but take it from one who has been there...it will improve.

Walt, I love the Emmett Kelley poster. I was a big fan of the world's greatest clown. I also was a huge fan of Marcel Marceau, the great French, mime. He was the inspiration for my poem, "Drunken Mimes". "Stress on All Fronts" is very thought provacative. Terse with a clear meaning and important message for those that appear to be always happy and care free. another great poem. Jon Michael Willey

I must have missed out on a lot... Clown tears hurt worst of all-- accustomed to turning everything into a joke, we're unused to sorrowful sentiment. --Charlie
