RE: A Dead Poems Society Production, Round 5, Contest and Community Building

in #contest6 years ago

Since this is “Dead Poems Society,” loosely inspired by the Robin Williams film, Dead Poets Society, I’m going to share my spoken word memoriam composed after he passed. It's entitled, “Laugh Clown… Laugh.” https://steemit.com/poetry/@momzillanc/laugh-clown-laugh-spoken-word

Sort:  

Cry out loud… make jest of your pain

this is what it's all about...

Your naked soul ... naked for the joke,
Spilled ... spilled ... until your heart breaks.

Images that discover the nature of the person who is honored. I like the intensification achieved with repetition. You did a wonderful job, @momzillanc

Precarious… you teetered ‘pon the precipice.
Played out your suffering ‘pon the stage,
Lights… camera… the pedestal… your cage.

A really superb piece of work, Denise:) Brava.

Thanks so much, Pryde. That means a lot coming from you.

Heart moving.

But I am Pagliacci.

There are some who get laughs and some who give laughs

and there are some who give their lives

Nanu Nanu

And there are too many of us who don’t notice those giving their lives. Thanks.
