the poet trys to compare between the acrobat and a poet. both of them
perform acrobat ina circus in front of the audiance & the poete performs in
his poems & the audiance are the readerthe.
the death of the acrobats in a real one he will lose his life in opposite
the poete's death is just unreal but he'll lose his skill in writing poemes
