How can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round? ~ Bee Gees
He said, "I have to find myself." She said,
"Fine, I’ll help you pack." – "I like that you love
me BUT" – "Fine, I take it back." – Not a shred
of feelings left except to rise above:
A rewrite of the too trite one-act play,
father, mother, their daughter’s drama coach,
prefers the jilted ingenue portray.
Screen Test: Her Heartbreak Triumph, first approach.
Tragedy's the forte of seasoned actors,
the romantic’s hardest role misassigned
of charisma, fickle-casting factors:
molds character; the method is unkind.
A script, a stretch, a pinnacle afar:
They pray, daren’t insist: Oscar for a Star!
Oh do I know this 'play' my daughter is 23 and my son is 26. God bless all the young 'actors' ;) I do find this quite interesting in the way you wrote it esp. the line; "A rewrite of the too trite one act play, Father, mother, their daughter’s drama coach, Prefers the jilted ingenue portray."
While browsing through the various new poems posted on AD I happened upon this one and am so glad I did. Wow what talent you have. Your style so totally different to the one I employ but so interesting. I will learn much from you fellow poet. Well done!
