This Poem I wrote was used as the script for a commercial. They found me right here on poetrysoup. Greatness in the cards for us all. Sometimes we even get to lick the icing.

 

Please push the link below to watch the Commercial. I think they did an amazing job with my words.

 

Good Afternoon Maurice -

 
We wanted to make sure you got to see the final video we created with your poem as the script!

We hope you love it as much as we do! 
 

 

FOUNDATION “...we achieve true wholeness by embracing our fragility...” Jalaja Bonheim FOUNDATION i had no script no actors no stage instead let me direct this life my life stage the words add a subtle dramatic tone with fragility once the foundation is built i'll work on emotional recall work in the layers does it sing does it dance does it make you think does it make you feel you can design the most beautiful building in the world but with no structure it will not stand for this one i start with the word "I" yup that’s a keeper next go out on a limb "Love" it can't be all about me so i finish with "You" yes you ‘what happens when you open your heart?, your inner strength becomes an outer foundation.’

Congratulations on all your achievements, Armand. After reading your blog last week I watched the “No Sh*t Sherlock” video and left a comment; also watched some other clips of yours. Your talents had never been in doubt, but it helped me confirm what I already assumed. Good luck with your work. Regards // paul
