In Circles

In the three ring circus of love She tries to pretend she's happy when she's blue coz she's stone in love with you Stopping to start, looking for signs above But it remains a ball of confusion an emotional illusion Just ask the lonely As they sit in rooms of gloom People make the world go round If she reaches out, and you are not there She will enter the three ring circus Dressed like a clown

Life is a three ring circus and we are all part of the act! Love the emotional illusion line: it hints at the fact we don't see the obvious.

A free verse with a hint of lime (I mean rhyme)! I love how this analogous write reflects the workings of a circus..often throughout my life I starred in this poem! Enjoyed immensely! Again, great flow! Gwendolen

The same thought came to me as to G Pace below me. I thought "very very interesting" and I loved the clown analogy!!
