(title paraphrased from Shakespeare)
|
Taken by my Dad |
From the heat and the noise
I wipe my face
shed my second costume skin
stumble, dizzy
into the cold backstage
I lay still
watch the lights
and the world
spin
on
without
me.

I want this poem to stand on its own. I hope you enjoy it.
This was soso good! It was short, but it really captured what you were trying to show!
ReplyDeleteIt also reminds me of the relief after a dance performance. You're just like "I did it. I'm done. I'm going to lay here now. Don't mind me."😳😱😝
Oh, wow. This is so beautiful and you did so well describing the feeling. <3
ReplyDeleteThis is fairly well done. I love the comparisons, but it kind of i don't know.. bluntly saying i like it the theme and the rhyme, but the presentation is not it's finest. It has a stand alone feel , as if it needs to be and was originally part of a larger work of art even though it is not. But I get the main idea. PERFECT imagery. My recommendation would be add a bit more to it, but great job!
