Shay's Word List Poetry
I
tell you I am writing a play
about an 'over the moon' circus clown
knowing me as well as you do
you sense the play is about me ~
my style/s: overplayed, remote, stilted
wacky, jumbled, woebegone ~
you look at me
with pity in your eyes
for the outré writer that I am ~
this would be me.
Wow, I love this, Helen. It is so poignant and the image is perfect for the poem.
