Welcome to the 2nd edition of J-Pull's Poetry Corner. This edition coincides with DC Comics' Villains Month, a month full of 52 one-shot issues starring some of their large assortment of supervillains. Specifically, this week releases the issue focusing on the Joker. So I figured what better time to share a Joker poem I also wrote during my final semester at EIU. So, here is "The Clown's Sonnet."
The
Clown’s Sonnet
By
Justin Pullen
My darling Batsy
Would you deny how
alike we are?
We both had that one
bad day that made us so unhinged,
Exactly what happened,
I don’t care
I try to show you the
joys of madness, but get broken bones in return
It’s fun to try, I
leave so many smiling
But long for one from
you
Your family, your
birds, your cat
Their presence makes
you weak! My performances bring out your best!
Our dance macabre will
only end by your hand
Which gives me the last
laugh
You’ll never find the
nerve
You are the order to my
chaos, both ever present
Love, J
