The Jester

Wet tears of defeat

                              behind greasepaint and fool’s cap,

                                              my alter ego.

Thank you Parvanendu! Writing in senryu is new for me. I think I like the form and your praise gives me great encouragement. Have a wonderful evening! :-)
