I want to laugh Laughter brings sunshine Alas I only cry The court jester does his best To be a fool Dancing and twirling his illusions The children do laugh As children will At the circus clown on his unicycle of idiocy Me, I can only cry I feel pity and sorrow For the old fool Beating who the hell knows who

The first picture here is hilarious, Arthur. Poor old clown. Dancing and drinking his illusions away. the line about unicycle of idiocy is brilliant.(my captcha even says PTY!)

I love it when a captcha is apt - I wish we could cut and paste them into a comment - i read a poem that mentioned a bottom - the captcha was 'ars' lol :-) Arthur has a way of fiding a perfect image:-) Hugs Jan xx

I would agree with you my friend, Arthur, for I feel sorrow for these seemingly joyful people who strive to make us laugh no matter what they hide in their heart! I hope you laugh other times. Very intriguing poem with beautiful expressions!

Many are those who smile while crying inside. We hide our feelings most of the time. On poetry soup, however, we can let it all out, without condemnation. One of the perks of anonymity.

Yes, I wonder can we be famous in our anonymity? :)

No...it's no laughing matter; life's reality is often hidden behind a mask. // paul

I laughed at the images Arthur - but felt sad when i actually read the poem - clowns are portrayed as 'happy' when in truth they often lead very sad lives:-( Hugs Jan xx 7 xx
