This was my first published poem which I wrote in 2001 for 'Laughter Lines' - the Waterfront Writers' second anthology of poetry.
An Actor's Life For Me:
Lights, Camera, Action!
Darlings, Darlings, not like that,
Make it big, bold, colourful -
Not weak and drab.
I want action, romance and deciet -
Not your normal everyday crap!
I don't want dull - I want bright -
Preferably some excitement and tears,
Maybe some words of wisdom:
Some 'To be or not to be' -
The question is - can you do it?
Do it for me - just this once.
Great! Now we're getting somewhere -
Work it baby - show me a performance.
Perfect! Push it further -
Make me feel your pain -
No, too much pain - more love.
OK, that's a wrap!
That's my life - and I love it!
