    Ahhh I hate clowns. Lol.
    I have a big fear of those things.
    Bad childhood expeirance don't ask. Lol.
    The poem flow was good. Didn't seemed
    forced. Kinda random if you ask me.
    God Bless 5/5

    Hey,
    Thank you for your comment, im sorry for the late reply, but ive been a little busy.
    Anyways i have to say i really enjoyed this poem, i really liked how oyu used the clown as a mask, how theirs someone else inside their... I think its kinda a netaphor.. its osmething many of us can relate to. I like that about it. Anywyas it had a good flow, and you hada good rhyme scheme, none of the poem seemed forced. I liked the meaning behind the poem, it seems to have a lot of though in it. A really great poem. To improve i suggest you use punctuation in your work. Other then that a great read! Keep writing! xx

    I liked this poem - I'm quite the joker myself. Lets see, there were a few minor things that could be changed to improve rhythm, such as:
    "All I am is but an illusion"
    "(these?) silly jokes I tell"
    "how everything began to fall"
    and the last line needs another word or two to give it the extra punch you need ^_~ tho i have no ideas for that part.

    fix those things and you got yourself a 5/5!

    This poem leaves me with a sense of sort of a masquerade. illusions and such. i really like the line, " im not an actor or an imposter" (;

    I liked this poem... It reminds me of that famous painting with the crying clown. I forget what its called or who painted it though. Its amazing how much of ourselves we can hide from the world behind something as simple as make up. Wonderful poem I thought it was going to be a funny one when I read the title but this is much better than I expected. Nice work.

    Oh, my. There are a lot of punctuation mistakes.. I know some authors don't care about punctuation, but GOD would it help the flow. Just a suggestion...

    Anyways.
    The flow was a little off for me, but the rhyming was very nice. The message and topic were absolutely amazing; I really enjoyed this piece. Thank you for sharing.

    [[If you add punctuation, I'll put you in the running for the weekly contest.. Sorry, punctuation is a big thing for me. =/]]

    This gentle one speaking now
    Is just an act{;} a show for you{.}
    A costume of deceit and lies{;}
    Covering up what inside is true...

    Everything about me is an illusion,
    Starting with the joy I bring,
    Through the smiles I make,
    And all the laughter I sing{.}

    Behind my big, red nose
    Hides a face full of fear,
    I spray myself with water{,}
    So you can't see my tears{.}

    The silly jokes I tell
    Aren't really jokes at all.
    They're a story of my life
    And how everything began to fall.

    I'm not an actor or an imposter {--}
    Not a fake walking around town{.}
    I'm just your average village idiot{;}
    I'm society's lame clown.

    That's pretty accurate on perfect punctuation. You're grammar, rocks, too! =]
    If you ever need help, you are welcome to ask me to edit a poem. I love grammar [I'm a geek] so, ask any time! Just private message me. =]
