Harlequin watches the rippling moon
drifting east downstream to paint the ocean,
breathes a Pierrot sigh, thinks that too soon
this face that mirrors face will fade again.
Harlequin whistles, strikes a cheerful pose,
smooths gaudy feather, adjusts jaunty hat,
twists a moonstruck dancing step as he goes
artlessly strolling callous as a cat.
Harlequin smoothes the over-studied note,
by streetlight wrapped in night pursues his task.
motley shoulders bent beneath lost love's coat
preparing new scenes to change an old masque.
Again the oldest tale spins out its rhyme,
Can Harlequin regain his Columbine?

 reports, 1d 5h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
