Arthur Vaso Poet I do not know?

Notes About The Poem

I Laugh Av

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

Andrea Dietrich February 24, 2015 at 2:18 PM 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!) Jan Allison February 26, 2015 at 1:57 AM 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 Arthur Vaso February 25, 2015 at 9:18 PM Yes, brilliant was exactly what I thought too!!!! LOL :)

Demetrios Trifiatis February 24, 2015 at 1:05 PM 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! Arthur Vaso February 25, 2015 at 9:17 PM Thank you Demetrios , I was for sure laughing when I wrote this, rest assured!!!

Cona Adams February 24, 2015 at 8:06 AM 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. Arthur Vaso February 25, 2015 at 9:16 PM Yes, I wonder can we be famous in our anonymity? :)

Paul Callus February 24, 2015 at 8:02 AM No...it's no laughing matter; life's reality is often hidden behind a mask. // paul Arthur Vaso February 25, 2015 at 9:15 PM So true Paul, thanks!

Jan Allison February 23, 2015 at 1:24 AM 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 Arthur Vaso February 25, 2015 at 9:15 PM Yes sad and have pity, on the likes of him! I mean the clowns!
