Clown

White painted face red lips of expression face representing emotion, infinite humor but poetry behind every motion. A youthful curiosity, sparking imaginaton of it's occupancy. A man behind the make-up stoik and unaware, from loneliness depression releases anger from drunken confrontations and swears, he's scared. Only freedom is behind someone elses character but feeling more himself as if he transformed into a new form. Depression subsides, joy and pleasure of entertaining others for smiles, his dedication and all other problems are reconciled Under his domain not a man about town, that's why they gave him the name, a clown.

Jourdan, This is a very deep poem, I really enjoyed it. The idea of a person using make-up to become someone else because they are unhappy with themselves is brilliant. Well done and congrats on having your work featured by Poetry Soup this week................S.Ronthorpe
