The Jester and thr Guillotine -------------------------------------------
Drone songs
and flip stones
black bones
from
burning pits
Fit
slow sounds
and
gold crowns
of the
King's jester
a dance
a joke
a primal poke
moves
too far
in the eyes
of
his majesty.
I enjoyed the dark humor in this one. I'm certain it could be written as a metaphor (as many of the old nursery rhymes were), but I chose to just enjoy it as a jester gone wild and a king who had the upper hand! Very clever, Sharon :-)
Whenever I read a piece like this, I can't help but wish I could take a peek inside the writer's mind. It's very different, but that's what I like about it. It's something I wouldn't normally read, but the name caught my attention and I was curious to see where you were going with it, and I like where you went. I don't know if I got the right idea of it, but I got the idea that you were trying to communicate the modern trials of success and impression through a medieval, almost humorous twist...? I don't know if that's correct, but I liked it and I hope to read more from you!
