Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Free verse

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 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.
