Jokester Poem by Stefanie Fontker

Jokester



Haughty moon, you mock me,
Smiling down at my thunderous bark.
And yet I keep at my fun and quips,
I refuse to be dead to this world.

But what smiling jester has lived,
Without a swift and brutal smack?
In this altered description of hard love,
Shame is soft and subtle, yet deep in hurt.

A transforming piece... Having the spirit of a fighter, hanging on, though it causes hurt. Clinging on because it makes the people we love happy...
