Clowns Poem by Adeline Foster

Clowns

Rating: 4.3


~ Clowns


Three rings were in my circus,
Each in a different land,
A different act, a different set,
Each staged a different clown-
A slight resemblance and yet
Each would different be,
And should you meet me on the street
Not one of them is me.

Written in answer when asked how I arrived in Maryland, USA from Canada

The three rings... Hmm... Maybe... Engagement ring, wedding ring and suffer-ring? Like your little ditty! -chuck

Hmm, this one I really like. Mystical, in such a serene fashion.

Now that is a nice poem Ad. I couldn't help but laugh a little, a clowns job right. It's not Timmons it's Timmins (Shania Twains home town) . Right now this morning it's 35 below but were tough ha ha. Paul. I can see why you never came back he he.
