THE CLOWNS



Who is the clown behind the man
What drives him to perform
in the only way he can

Who is the man behind the clown
What drives him to perform
in his colorful gown

I always feel sadness
When I see one of those
And yet they bring laughter
In performing their pose



A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

i've often wondered what the man behind  the clown/clown behind the man might think or feel... you've expressed it well here.

enjoyed this much!

Titia, Thank you for sending me the link to your lovely poem, busy, busy, and I appreciate the link.  I adored this one and keeping in my library until Tori comes to visit, she loves the clowns.  Again, thank you so much for thinking of me and sending it.
