Notes About The Poem

The Mime

Excited children, 
        heavily in attendance
                    at the circus watch 
                              with rapt attention...
    as a mime
    tells funny stories
     without words.
                               Incessant chuckles
                           cut through 
                       the pin-drop silence.
     Their smiles 
      so bright
      it could shine 
      to a flash!
