Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

Dedication To Robin Williams

Doubting the fire in your heart
Firewater to wash the tears
Laughter hides the rain
Witty lines to overshadow the silence and the pain
Missing Doubts, fired from life’s strains
Acting roles, never I me
The Big screen, keeping you all over there
As I play my own role, hardly can I bare
Enveloped in sadness
No letter inside empty walls
Fulfilled now, the dead poet
The comedic tragedy
Hanging up side down
Too tired, I retire

To the society yonder

Joanmarie Peranteau August 14, 2014 at 10:49 PM Hi Arthur, I'm still challenged when it comes to this site "Poetry Soup", I seen you sent a message about a poem you wrote, but I don't see it and there was nothing in the email. Also I don't know how to send soup mail and can't open soup mail. Like I said I'm still very challenged when it comes to this.

Joanmarie Peranteau August 14, 2014 at 10:27 PM Love this....enjoyed the creative way in which you spoke of the disease, the emotional pain & suffering that the genius in the art of entertaining Robin Williams suffered with, a disease that has stricken many.
