Tatters

Why
Did I
Get sucked in
Like a big fish 
And play with the clowns
There went my rent money
I'm a laughing stock at cards
My life's a big circus as is 
The only poker I know is fun
My
Oh my
See my face
After that loss
I'm at loss for words
My insides are empty
My wallet is emptier 
My hair's on fire, I need help
Where is my cotton candy lady

Connie Pachecho Date: 1/14/2023 8:48:00 AM About this poem-I thought it was witty and funny but I'll never know if the moon will ever shine. In the first stanza, the clown is knocked off his feet. He confides that the only poker he knows is fun. In the second stanza, he wants to get back on his feet (perhaps get sucked in) and muses about the whereabouts of his cotton candy lady. Login to Reply
