The Circus Poem by nimal dunuhinga
The Circus
People amaze of their acrobats
and a joker rides a cycle on a wire horizontally.
Mimicry of Charlie.Chaplin
a baggy trouser harlequin.
Lion in a cage and the ferocious man opens the door.
Polar bear dances to the on going music.
A Chimpanzee walks like an African Diplomat,
Hand-in-hand with a beautiful girl..
A checker goes round for counterfoils.
Gradually lights dim for striptease
and the pickpockets jump the queue.
I have always felt that the circus was a place of faded glory. You have captured this mood very well in your excellent word painting. Take care, Nimal. Your poetess friend, Sandra
Very vivid poem Nimal.........I like the way it goes from the fun whimsical stuff to the more serious things such as pickpockets once the lights dim. Very nice. Sincerely, Mary

My actor soul always sympathizes with those who make their living risking their necks under the big tent. Your poem shares the tawdry reality of these wandering players and their not always honest audiences. Excellent poem. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
