Short Circus Tent Poems

Camping in your best gown
There was no request turned down
For the funny clown

I need words-
Good words-
Words as voluminous
As a circus tent
That comes with a zipper
So that I can envelop myself
In their resplendent expanse,
Seal myself in,
And still have enough space
To dream...

I’m just a free-range wino on the lam,
A low-rent resident of any circus tent 
Accepts me as the reprobate I am.
I don’t speak Texan and I don’t intend to,
But I’ll pretend to be a rodeo clown.
I’ve got a box of bad intentions.
Gonna drink that vino down.
In vino veritas....

The joker had the most fabulous fashions around
So many things were striped, no solids were found.
He was wearing polka dots and had flower stickers too.
Clothing of every gorgeous color, shade and hue.

A miniature elephant was doing a circus trick.
Showing off next to his circus tent so thick.
The joker and beast gave each other a friendly nod.
Just another wonderful day in the land of Vaude....

THE CIRCUS 

                Circus- tent was bought from the town.
                Owner was renowned Mr. Brown.
                 He appointed two funny clowns.
                 Guys were named as ‘ Noun’ and ‘Pronoun’.
        
                  Jack - Jill went to circus show on Sun down.
                  Jack put on shiny silver crown.
                   Jill wore glossy green gown.
                   Clowns made faces and frowned.

I prayed hard for Jill to be a wife- first
and a first lady, second.
I Prayed for her to finally let him rest
I prayed for the sad parade to come to an end.

I'm pretty sure he's stepping away
not because of divine intervention
but because his decline was lime lighted
the polls to the circus tent were collapsing...


Rest easy old man, I wish your last days 
to be filled with endless tranquility.
(Far away from the cackle and clowns}
and filled with much needed dignity.
