POEM: Mime Crime
This was written to the art titled “The Fools Rule The World” by gyurka, the featured art on the CPC Simple Sunday Picture challenge.
MIME CRIME
Behind the mime’s white mask was played
a game of chess with cost defrayed
until the tide came in at last,
and toppled pieces from the past.
The game had played out fairly fair
in poetry with words to spare.
A marvel of a write it was,
as beauty did as beauty does.
But then the mime came miming in
with dissonance foul chiming in;
confused the rules and took the king,
confounding chase for freedom’s ring.
Now the board is soaked and silent,
corrupted by mime’s sewage hydrant..
Pieces lie in disarray.
Can we make him go away?
