I walked in the bosom of a sea breeze free
citrus smells
and ringing bells
I made my entrance grandly
understudy jealousy
to keep me company
the adjectives left me heavy
lumbering fool with seminal stage fright
black curtain endings swallowed all the light
act one
scene two
death by overkill
before they drop the other shoe

If you read this today, feed someone locally for me will you? Drop off a non perishable food item at the food bank nearest you and consider yourself hugged. Thank you!

Nice one, Val. Loved the ending.
Know something weird Denise? The ending was the first thing to come to me and I built the rest around it. It’s interesting that the initial line or lines are often the most potent in a poem.
Awesome this one Val!
Thank you so much Adrian. 🙂
