Clown Poem by Lynne RBC

Clown

Rating: 5.0


If I make faces and paste a smile,
will you forget originality
and mimic my style?

Will you watch me do acrobatics?
Leap out of your fear to mid-air
revive your strength from up there?

Will my magic do the trick?
Transform your body with my wand
heal you with the flick of my hand?

If I buy you the doll you never had
will this soothe your aches as much
as your words cradle me as angels touch?

If I swear to be the funniest clown you will ever see,
will it turn your pains to tickles,
will you promise to laugh with me?

Lynne, some people are difficult to please, even with acrobatics and a clown suit. But, you've certainly made the effort. Great write! ! Brian

This leaves me with the impression of someone talking to a child who has been injured, and is in pain. I suppose you could put all sorts of interpretations to this one, Lynne. Leaves the reader to make up his / her own mind. Love, Fran xx
