The Pondering Clown

Every day I see a pondering clown He rests his arms on a stone platform No one knows what he is thinking His eyes stare down -there is no smile both hands to his face, looking so sad The eyes look like he will cry tears He carries the worries of the world Wonders what will happen next This pondering clown is part of my collection Sitting on my shelf, I see him every day

He is real to me. He is a statue clown with a sad face. In tattered clothes looking so sad. My husband bought this clown for me. Have a nice evening my friend.

Very intriguing poem, Darlene. The thoughts and emotions projected onto an inanimate object opens the mind to pure imagination. Delightful poem w/meaningful ponderings. Loved it. Peace and love to you.
