Tim, the imagery is great. But the Haiku is incorrect. Honor the ancient style. five Seven Five syllables Best and intended most kindly, because I have studied the art of Haiku for decades.

oh this is so cute!! Did you ever hear the song Tears of a clown. It seems to be inspired by that song!

No I haven't... but I'm glad you liked my haiku. This one, surprisingly, had to be re-written and revised quite a lot.
