The burlesque circus clown [revised] (Free verse) by Don-Quixote
Corrupted and profane
is he the poet undone;
a sly blue collar comic
whose voice raves
in assorted tongues.
With vigor he flouts
the sapless and those
willing to oppose him.
A buffoon in the burlesque circus
is he the poet undone.
A vicious Hydra in the freak show
is he the poet undone.
Proud and stubborn in his arrogance,
he rises up before the morning sun;
mask painted bright
before the show has begun-
waiting to be revealed
as he the poet undone.
Resented or acclaimed
it matters not,
because when the charade ends
everyone will leave undone-
exposed by the light of dusk
before a smiling jester;
the fool who has won,
masked before the setting sun.

Since I wrote it, I read/recite it in a way that sound correct to my eyes/ears- so theres no way I can detect the faults that you've come across. ;/
If it isn't too much trouble, could you point out what you feel needs tweaking and give a short explaination why? (Am I a demanding jackass or what? then again I've been alot more annoying in the past..)
I'd appreciate it, thanks.
