A Clown Poem

You might think that i`m just

a 15 year old boy

with brown hair

with blue eyes

 

But i’m not just

these physical descriptions

not a physically disabled person

not a shy animal

 

An energetic clown

with no control of himself what-so-ever

A nuisance to some

and a frightening image to others

 

But on those magnificent days a clown

a clown is risen from the criticism

child`s faces sprout new smiles

I have ignored people and their bad images

and now children get to have a fun day

 

I close down shop

kids leave for home marrily

while I have seen

what a clown is capable of

for I am one

up close and real

for it is bright colors that

I leave with

 

That 15 year old boy

now a clown

full of spirit

and can wake up

the next
a happy happy day

to fill children`s spirits up

with laughter and fun`
