Hello, Passions....It's great to be alive, to write poetry and to see your shining colors today....I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving..I know I have(I'm stuffed as a turkey)....anyways, I put version #2 cause, I think I wanna save version one for my electronic poetry book I'll be releasing some time next year....anyways, enjoy this version though....peace! Have you ever seen tears fall down a clown's face, as he covered his eyes so nobody could see? Have you ever seen his sadness leave a trace, of where happiness and peace used to be? In all honesty, I'm the official king of comedy any questions, just call 1800-the jokes on me. But despite the fact, that my heart often gets slashed, I keep things all in perspective despite the laughs. I guess I wear a price tag cause, folks spend jokes on me like cash, putting me on full blast, failing to grasp the pain behind this mask as it's very depressing, to know that the jokes on me as the excess baggage, weighs a ton like groceries. I might as well cake-up my face with make-up act like I'm an earthquake as my body shakes and struts, simultaneously juggle eggs in the air in circular rotation until one falls on my head so, that I can recieve a standing ovation as I guess this was meant to be, my god-given purpose to be the main center of attraction, in lifes' big circus cause unvoluntarily, I've become the big joke that everyone wants to see as I cry while the world points and laughs at me, showing no sympathy.

hmmmmmmmm. . . I'm wondering about this one Nate. . . wondering why the clown needs to be pointed at and laughed at. . . and what it makes him feel. . . well done. . . can't wait to see the first version. . . let me know when it comes out!!!  ------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Thanks for your very nice comments Rose and Sven.....and Sven, I see what you mean and version one totally explains everything.....I guess I'm being to selfish about putting out version#1....I'll give it some thought tonight and perhaps I may post it tomorrow or something...peace! Nathan |

Reminds me of that old Bobby Goldsboro song called Funny Little Clown...I believe that's what it is called. "No one knows he's cryin...for he's laughin' on the outside...but he's cryin' on the inside." James |

Damn, I think I should have made this as part one cause, this poem only serves like an intro to the character I'm gonna get into on the other poem....gosh, I feel like a jerk right now...somebody pinch me!  Nathan |
