Hey y'all. This is the first poem I've put here, so tell me what you think! Under the lights Before the audience Becoming another… Being different For a moment For an instant Stepping outside yourself The audience is fuzzy... But the task is so clear Under the stars Alone in the night Becoming adult Being yourself For a moment For an instant Seeing the stars clearly Through the small strip of sky Visible between the hills Onstage, Offstage A few feet, a few steps But an ocean of difference Looking at the narrow blue strip Sometimes, if one gazes hard enough A falling star can be seen… Looking out on the rows of chairs After the house lights are off Close your eyes… Perhaps you’ll see what you are Perhaps you’ll see what you may become Maybe, just maybe… a star is born "All the world's a stage, and the men and women merely players"-W.S. |

LTS, the first read was filled with strong imagery, but with the second read, I noticed the comparison/contrast between stage/country; people/self; expectation/potential... Much deeper upon careful contemplation than at first appears. Even the title, I just noticed, has a nice comparison between stars in the sky and "stars" as stage artists. Very nicely done!
