Excellent

This is worthy of a six star rating but I don't have anymore to give out. Excellent at its best. I like how you tied depression to that of the clown. Excellent my friend.

I probably would have fallen over with glee if you had given me 6 stars. It would have been the first time.

Excellent

Ouch, this is incredibly sad. I always remind self that even clowns have two faces.

No spag, good form. For me, it looks like the "the" is over used, but that's just my opinion. I try to avoid articles in poetry, but again, for emphasis, I can see it's handy.

Good job with this, great photo. :) Carrie

I really enjoyed it a lot. The thing is, everyone cannot appreciate everything. We are all in different places so it will only appeal to some. As is all work. But if you feel the piece, be it liked or be it not, it will be felt by all. Apryle

Excellent

wonderful poem. i especially loved the ending. the sad clown as an oxymoron and friends that betray you, somehow this combination works together.
