Poet Laureate of Movies
(Dedicated to fellow poet Judy Joy Jones)
A Movie Poet Laureate?
No one is named – at least not yet.
I’d love the role before I go.
An honor it would be, I know.
Movies force me to do the crime
of turning things into a rhyme.
My film poems come to me at night.
I write them down and all seems right.
But if this Post remains unfilled
my review poems will not be stilled.
They’ll keep flowing without regret.
Films will go on -- and I won’t fret.
Judy Joy Jones, my thanks to you
for inspiration and all you do
to cheer on artists and their work.
Please keep it up. Don’t ever shirk!

I am honored to be even a tiny part of inspiring you Betty Jo and cannot wait to see your film!!!
For example, last evening I watched a portion of Inglorious Basterds. Sometime during the night I was having a dream about the Nazis entombing a G.I. alive and he survives somehow without water and food until released. It may make a diabolical short story, but no poem popped into my head.
A poet laureate is usually discovered in the midst. Who knows, the Academy may have a poetry category someday.
