Oddity To Perfection

Oddity to Perfection

Who is this enigma, what is he about,
You think you know him but its all a facade,
But with every movie, we enter his world,
Another story, another character sometimes a little odd.  

He is tall, dark and handsome with a rare talent,
An actor for our era, so different and composed.
Choosing his movies out of interest and deep with research, 
Suggesting many changes, that are seldom opposed.

He draws us into the story that we would normally not watch, 
Keeping us glued to our seats until the end credits roll.
We forget our worries and how easy he makes it look,
He can make us laugh or touch us deeply to our soul.

He melts into the person and  immerses us in the story,
From Scissorhands to pirates, we watch him become the part,
No one else but Johnny Depp can provide such perfection, 
He stretches our imagination and tugs at our heart.

I've been a Johnny Depp fan for quite a while, When I was on NATO ops in the 90s, I remember watching Benny and Joon about six times in 3 months. He can pretty much bring any character to life. Vince

I agree, he can make any part come to life. Where were you on NATO ops? Lee

Johnny Depp is one of my favourite character actors. Hope you have entered this in the contest! As you know, I have been spending most of my free writing time on my novel, so only enter the contests I absolutely can't resist. Way to go girl. Elaine
