Clown Makeup
Sadness shuffles in his footsteps
Oversized shoes heavier than lead
Waltzing to the edge of the ring
His face contorted in a hideous leer
A playful sneer
Then a smile forging wrinkles no one knew
Under the red, white and blue

Short poem
Sadness shuffles in his footsteps
Oversized shoes heavier than lead
Waltzing to the edge of the ring
His face contorted in a hideous leer
A playful sneer
Then a smile forging wrinkles no one knew
Under the red, white and blue
