...


a painted face, to them a mystery
hidden, behind masks of all colors.


movement flowing like poetry
from one trapeze to the other
hands grasping, fingers folding
blindfolded to the sight of the world


'cept for the voices
the voices of mocking laughter

they're laughing at me
because i am different.

Life is sometimes a circus that's for certain Jennifer
but your descriptive poem was nothing to laugh at,it said much about life and feelings and you made your point very well,in fact it almost brought a tear to this little clown's eye.
An excellent poem indeed.
Best wishes

I quote an old wisdom which I believe is apt:
'Long live The Differece!'
or as they said it
'Viva la difference!'
p.s. again

If you are different,be proud of it,the world has so many boring copycats,all the same,few original,be you!

Visions of A Skylark Dressed in Black by Aberjhani

“The woman or man who is a poet, or fiction writer, or playwright, or all of these, is engaged constantly in a jazz ballet of vocabularies, passions, genders, histories, perspectives, death, love, and life. The music of revelation announces itself to
