The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."
As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Clown at a cheap diner.


Sadness Seeks Company

Well I try to keep a happy outlook on life
but, to be honest, the costume doesn’t work
these days clowns are only seen in horror flicks
and I never had the nerve to be in those.

So now I join the line for dinner
we’re all down on our luck in this place
and people understand me better
not that they make any sense to me.



Line count: 8
Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 07.27.24
Prompt: As per illustration.
