Array ( [sid] => 35544 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Quipsters Agony [time] => 2004-02-19 13:37:02 [hometext] => [bodytext] => In the court
a jester laments his fate.
Sore
ridiculed;
he sows the seeds of smiles in
the garden of happiness.
A fools' paradise blossoms in ignorant bliss,
and yet it is lighthearted mockery that he reaps, from his own tattered dreams that shatter in the fallen thunder.
Prides' mare galloping into sunken horizons.
He swallows hard;
his eyes are small sorrow filled orbs of
far away worlds.
Mourning drops of dew collect blurring his vision from their cruel taunts,
and as the wall of water collapses brick by brick, the jester realizes his only purpose
is to entertain others.
He is a slave of laughters' pity,
shackled to the brunt of the joke.
The jester is the jest and nothing besides.

Quipsters Agony

In the court
a jester laments his fate.
Sore
ridiculed;
he sows the seeds of smiles in
the garden of happiness.
A fools' paradise blossoms in ignorant bliss,
and yet it is lighthearted mockery that he reaps, from his own tattered dreams that shatter in the fallen thunder.
Prides' mare galloping into sunken horizons.
He swallows hard;
his eyes are small sorrow filled orbs of
far away worlds.
Mourning drops of dew collect blurring his vision from their cruel taunts,
and as the wall of water collapses brick by brick, the jester realizes his only purpose
is to entertain others.
He is a slave of laughters' pity,
shackled to the brunt of the joke.
The jester is the jest and nothing besides.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
