Notes About The Poem

Star Power

First to arrive at the karaoke bar
and always last to leave
she put it all out on the line
the glitz the glamour
the looks the swagger

Her sequin gown would glitter
all night as she played the star
high on killer stilettos
a glass of wine or two
she sure could belt out tunes

She'd tease the audience
with her flirtatious moves
soon she’d have them
eating out of her hand
wrapped around her pinky

Shamelessly addicted
to the lights and the attention
hooked on echoes of applause

I could just picture the scene Line, that longing for attention and being the centre of attraction. Tom.
