The Jester Poem by Weldon Davis
The Jester
I make you smile
The reasons why
Uncertain
Maybe it's the way I talk
-Or-
The way I muse
It's evident
I'm the recipient
Of constant abuse
How else could I cover this pain?
With quick quips and jokes
Relating to the things
Everybody thinks
-Yet-
Does not say
I make you smile
Go ahead and grin
To relate to my fellow man
Is my greatest strength
Within
Maybe one day you'll
Feel my pain
Through these tears
This clown hides
Daily
Nice insightful poem about the comedian who hides his pain through humor. I saw in your bio that you are a spoken word poet...same as slam poet? I can hear how this poem could be effectively performed to enhance its meaning. Each word here seems important as you chose them carefully and did nice job of showing the reader what to focus on in the way you separated the lines, emphasizing certain words more than others. Well done! Thanks for sharing Weldon! :)
Thank you for your most gracious critique of my poem. This poem comes from a place where people only see one side of me..By writing it out I offer that other view; that yes although I'm confident, humorous, and silly, I'm also insecure, serious, thoughtful, and scared..
