So, the description that you supplied for this piece is definitely quite interesting. I saw it floating to the right of my screen and I had to give it a look.

The way you describe the clown is very realistic. You made sure that your reader clearly envisions him, and you focused on the characteristic details that stick to people's minds. I really enjoyed that, especially with the: "cracked smile."

This poem is definitely intriguing and the ending was completely unexpected. For a second there I was thinking that the narrator was one of those people who were terrified of clowns. But when it turned out to be his/her very own reflection, I definitely felt a lot more empathy for the fear that this character felt.

This got me thinking about what might have happened in the narrator's life. What would lead a person to describe himself as a clown? This person feels like he is frustrated with the mask that he has to put on everyday. The way I interpret the fear at the end is that this person has hidden his face for too long that actually seeing it startled him. I wonder if this is what you intended?

Definitely well written and quite thought provoking!

Nicely done.
