Poetry, Three Things Challenge

Exit Stage Left

Your three words today are:
FARCE
RIDICULE
COMEDY

Was our friendship a farce,
Where you could ridicule me?
Was it a comedy show
For you to get your laughs in, free?

Did you play the leading role,
While I sat in the crowd,
Hoping for a moment,
When you’d lift me from the shroud?

Were my secrets just punchlines,
My heart a joke on display?
I sought a bond and connection,
Not the cruelty of your play.

Yet here I stand, unbroken,
No longer part of your scene,
I’ll rewrite my own story,
Where I’ve learned to be seen.

So take your laughter, your mockery,
And leave me to find my way,
In a world where friendships flourish,
And genuine hearts can stay.

Funny, Poetry

CROWD
CLOWN
CITRUS

Citrus Clown

In the center of the town,
There was a funny little clown,
With a citrus colored suit,
And a smile that was astute.
He performed for a massive crowd,
Making them laugh oh so loud,
With his silly jokes and tricks,
He had them all in hysterics.
He juggled lemons and limes,
Danced around like he had no time,
But the funniest part of all,
Was when he tripped, making everyone fall.
The crowd couldn’t stop laughing,
As the clown continued his acting,
He made faces and silly sounds,
On the stage, he was surely crowned.
But as he reached for a citrus fruit,
He accidentally dropped it, oh what a hoot,
The audience erupted in cheers,
As the clown pretended to shed tears.
With his orange hair and red nose,
He had the crowd on their toes,
Never had they laughed so much,
Thanks to this clown with a citrus touch.
So if you’re feeling down,
Just go and find this funny clown,
With his bright and zesty flair,
He’ll have you laughing without a care.
