Poem -
Harlequin
Jovial masks dwelt behind,
Stardust deems a world blind.
Bedazzled twinkle on display,
Pseudo scrutiny fades away.
A facade of deception conceived,
Fooling one's self till it's believed.
Hopelessness wept a thousand tears,
Morose eyes camouflage fears.
When a harlequin mask slips,
Razzle-dazzle facetious quips.
So society finds comfort behind,
Their own masks designed.

Hey! I'm so disappointed. I put out an in-depth thesis on the aging process of the chicken, on The Unstable Chicken(or something like that, I can't remember the actual name), and you snubbed me egregiously, but in a nice way. C'mon, I got 5 comments(one from the awesome Cheerie, and 4 from me! lol). You know I already feel like a wicked outsider on this site, I need your sense of humor...it's warped. lol.Β
Kidding(I wouldn't comment on me either...even though I do).Β
