Have you seen the painted face?
Whose insides I could never trace
Camouflaged with red and white
Making us laugh with all his might.
Dark circles around his eyes
A result of bread-less night-cries
He does this job for a living
As he plays with the circus ring!
Every coin has the other side
To show the best he has well-tried
Our lives are not a shade different,
The flower with thorns also has a scent!

Bread-less night-cries, these two words are enough to express how pathetic that person's life who keeps the whole world laughing. Very well done. :)
I agree with Namrata. There is a lot conveyed with that phrase - really nice!

Interesting...wow I like that last line...
Thanks Tess!
one would think that the thorns and fragrance were linked
They are. :-)
There is another face under the laughing clown; and many times, it is weeping... so very true.
My Magpie entry
some sympathy for the class clown at last
Yes! Thanks.
Yes.
It is always said that the one who makes others laugh will be crying within... Good one!
