a glimpse of my portfolio
i've been really focusing on poetry lately for my creative writing class in university. I feel I have found somewhat of a voice, and i know it has to do with the maturing i have done over the summer. here is a poem inspired by recent events. 4 poems down, 6 pages of writing to go!
The Thespian
“Just get the fuck out of here!”
“You fucking crack whore!”
and she didn’t look back as she walk,
walk,
walked,
across main street’s infamous streetlight stage,
infront of the audience who looked on, intimately,
row by row.
There was no name to light the marquee,
when such an actress never had an audition,
or an identity to even call her own.
Jaws dropped in awe, when speechless lines fell,
from a woman’s gouged out hollow eyes.
Listening intently to her children,
not able this night,
to remember that last important line, of the final,
“goodbye”.
