BOUND MAN
by UC Poika




O traveler robbed and tied up along the way
when found he saved your life but left you bound
yet taught you circus tricks that boggle the mind
and for the first time everybody cheered
then the circus fell on hard times and even failed
and the owner cut your ties and let you out
but you still did tricks because all the while
it was the only time they cheered you see
but there came a man who set you free from that
because he cut the ropes of your binding pride
and your unending hopes to move the crowds to clap
and even set you free from all of your desires
but in the end you found that you were still in a bind
for you must yet cope with playing the role of being fine

Have you ever heard of being purposely vague to provide a (what is the French word that means a certain mystery) that one must think to solve. You're intelligent prof use that mind to decipher a meaning. If you want everything clear try the nonfic section.

Ok, Who's "he?" "But left you bound" appears to mean still tied to the tree since all we have of the poem at this point is "he tied to a tree and he who saved his life but left him tied up"

You can't just assume your reader will know what you mean you have to spell it out sometimes. Try punctuation and spacing as well.
