“What to do, what to see?
In a word, it’s three.
If you solve my riddle,
You shall be heard your plea.”
Such were the words of the joker. Meaningless and yet unfathomable behind his cheshire smile. Hands swift, caught was the apple that fell from my hands, into the endless dance of spheres it went. Brave and confident, he seemed to be, as he balanced on the trapize of the world, almost as if believing he could overcome it. Yet behind the painted face and diomond filled smile, his eyes, ever so dark, said otherwise.
The joker was a gamble. A gamble of wits, a gamble of hearts. A gamble of kings, queens, knights—a gamble of life.
More gibberish.

but something different - at least you are still writing and posting when you can. gibberish can lead to something more profound and even a novel. I like the last little paragraph - you probably could do a lot with that - somewhere - good luck - E :)
glad to see that you like it! :)
Like Elysabeth said - gibberish can lead to something bigger. You could make a whole paragraph about the joker!
I noticed you seem to have a thing for diamonds. Interesting.
I like how this piece is abstract and crazy and can be interpreted many different ways.
I especially like this:
"Brave and confident, he seemed to be, as he balanced on the trapize of the world, almost as if believing he could overcome it."
Now if you had a scene with a character trying to solve one of the joker's riddles, and it being a life or death situation, the character getting the riddle right - that would be interesting! You could make a lovely short story out of it.
Whatever happened to the story with the two girls, Kate and the other one?
And the princess? That story was ages ago, but I still miss it! It was so mystical and mysterious!
er, I meant "story" about the joker, not paragraph. ^^
