Submit: Clown in the Moon
*gasps* This is actually on time...
The theme for week thirty-two is Clown in the Moon, which is a poem by Dylan Thomas. I was going to use my all time favourite poem of his, The Hand that Signed the Paper... but this one has more varied imagery
You can submit any one CLAMP icon as long as it uses at least three consecutive words from the poem below; make sure to check your spelling/wording before you submit. The title is included since it never actually appears as a line in the verse.
After that, you are allowed to take parts of the poem and juxtapose them as you see fit... but please don't go overbaord and misrepresent what the poem is all about. You are not allowed to incorporate any other text in the icon.

Clown in the Moon
Dylan Thomas
My tears are like the quiet drift
Of petals from some magic rose;
And all my grief flows from the rift
Of unremembered skies and snows.
I think, that if I touched the earth,
It would crumble;
It is so sad and beautiful,
So tremulously like a dream.
--------------------
The theme is still fairly open to interpretation so have fun and be creative.
