The Clown

by Mike Martin   Feb 7, 2008


I saw you there
I couldn't help but stare
The twinkle in your eye
The moonlit in the sky
It pales next to you
But then, most things do
I dare not say a word
Nor approach you if I am heard
But you will never know
I will never let it be so
I know you don't know
that I am but a show
A show for you to laugh at
To make a mock
With that I take stock
Take stock in the notion
That i am but a fool
But i did make you smile
It was worth all the while........

    "I saw you there
    I couldn't help but stare
    The twinkle in your eye
    The moonlit in the sky"

    Great rhyme scheme I like it. Its simple but its always nice to read.

    "I dare not say a word
    Nor approach you if I am heard"

    I know how this feels, to me it sounds like your hiding emotion from this one person and I know how it feels to do that.

    "that I am but a show
    A show for you to laugh at
    To make a mock
    With that I take stock"

    To me this is saying that you are trying your best to impress someone and do everything you can to do so even if it hurts. You just want that attention for a short while and you have it and your happy even if it hurts. to me that is the hidden meaning in this, but thats just me lol.

    "But i did make you smile
    It was worth all the while........ "

    Great ending I liked it. It was beautifully ended. I liked this poem. It was short but I liked it a lot of emotion again was put in to this poem.
