Roy Pett Poet Pantoum

Delusional

Thoughts of being a jester 
an ability to make people laugh, 
turned out to be a total disaster 
no one laughed not even the staff, 

an ability to make people laugh 
just a titter even a smile a grin,
no one did not even the staff 
coldness sending me into a tailspin, 

just a titter even a smile a grin 
a modest glimmer of appreciation,
coldness sending me into a tailspin 
no one shows any sort of emotion,

a modest glimmer of appreciation 
even if only out of sympathy,
no one shows any sort of emotion 
feeling this undesired apathy, 

even  if only out of sympathy 
turned out to be a total disaster, 
feeling this undesired apathy 
thoughts of being a jester.

Carole Duet March 29, 2017 at 9:37 PM Interesting poem, Roy. I think that being a comedian must be one of the hardest and most stressful jobs. Roy Pett March 30, 2017 at 3:06 AM Thank you very much Carole, totally agree they never fully know their audience, thanks again for your support much appreciated, Roy. :))

Judy Ball February 12, 2017 at 4:42 PM Well said Roy. It all depends on the mood at the moment I guess. Sometimes what we say in jest is taken literally and that can change everything. I guess we just have to be careful about what we say and who we say it to. A big 7 from me. Good stuff. God Bless, JB Roy Pett February 13, 2017 at 2:53 AM Thank you very much Judy you are too kind awarding me a 7, I really appreciate you taking time and giving me encouraging comments, thank you again, Roy.

Jan Allison February 11, 2017 at 7:41 AM Love the theme you chose for the poem Roy - I have found it too as humour is subjective and what we may find amusing other's do not:-( hugs Jan xx Roy Pett February 11, 2017 at 8:09 AM Thank you very much Jan, this is the first time that I've attempted this form, so probably need a little more practice, thank you for your support and very kind comments, Roy.
