Circus Beautiful (Wife Excluded)

The man at the fountain is the man in our tea.
He turns and he dials and cranks up the sea.
An urban alligator with a heart made of silk.
Cheers on the camel with one less hump milk.
A costume for yeti who’s ready to dance.
Mother Theresa hems a circus mouse’ pants.
She says “a cat with a lisp is embarrassed to eat..
But a mouse without pluck is like car without street.”
The wife of the man at behest of the sea.

Comes angry, comes armed, for he must brush his teeth.

Now I heared the music, my new friend, into your words... this is urban at it's best. Such an interesting hike, through your mind.. I guess, when I fall down, you could pick me just up, by rambling. This is stunning, and the metaphors in it too. Humoristic, lovely, and clever. Thanks...

Oh thank YOU I'm very flattered to hear that :)

You're most welcome :)

Interesting indeed. I'm terrified of clowns, but obssessed with old carnival and circus stories--this reminded me of something I once read called "Freak Show", and it was all about the sideshow acts that used to grace all the great carnivals and circus'.

Hahaha, this made me laugh. I agree, you and Dr Wood, would be great together, haha.

[Richard]

thank you very much :)
I am curious to meet this dr. WOOD

[s y e]

He's gone, sadly :'( But he was a great, funny writer.

[Richard]

aww that's too bad :(
I appreciate the comparison all the same ... it's too bad I didn't get to see his work

[s y e]

Yeah it is....

[Richard]

thank you so much :)
who is Dr. Woods?

[Elizabeth]

She's right. He deleted his profile but he's AWESOME!! Speaking of Silverstein. He's in the same school of writing.

[Richard]

really? so is he a doctor?
I would like to see him .. see his writing :)

[Elizabeth]

No. He isn't, I don't think. I just discovered today that his profile is gone. Sad.

[Richard]

aw no ... I feel already like I know him ... was he sort of a weird writer too?

[Elizabeth]

ya

[Richard]

neat!

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

absolutely awesome! You and Dr. Woods need to be friends.......

I don't think I've ever had more fun reading a poem. I'm not entirely sure of what to make of it, but I really liked it.

thank you Gracie that means a lot coming from a fine writer as yourself ... and I think uncertainty is the response I was looking for ha :)
