Great Picture Prompt!!..(points updated)...The Sad Clown...This could be what they call a 'quickie'

I dont know if im in any position to judge the great poets of AP because im comparitively new and amateur...But i think im supposed to because I won the PIF contest below....

http://allpoetry.com/poem/4215441


Im new so please be easy on me...
I dont think i can handle difficult sentences and abstract ideas...
I really love emotional poetries,ones with beautiful/unusual imageries of a touching story...
Please dont enter a pre written poem and avoid using slangs because I simply dont understand them..
And yes,take care of your spelling and grammar!
You can reserve but please come back and fill it up soon


The prompt is a picture..This is a wonderful picture i found in the internet a few days back whose author is unknown..never thought it would come in so handy for a poetry contest Id be holding...It depics intense emotions of a man painted as clown...tell me his story,re-paint the picture in words...I dont mind sad poetries...but no cruelty please

Thanks a lot in advance!!
Best of luck for the contest

    hey, im domz, i was a newbie at one stage and know how you feel, but im sure you'll do alright!
    i wont write on the contest mate because i dont like clowns - i feaking hate them, and you dont want cruelty, which is what i would have given - sorry and good luck!

    I am afraid I agree with Domz101...I have a real aversion to clowns...

    Have fun and smile...
