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.
