The Main Attraction

The main attraction The hairs on your head standing up Electricity says, “what’s up?” Standing in the shadow - a pup The satisfaction That one gets when displaying claws Jumping through hoops, the hees and haws Delirious from fighting a cause Roaring reaction Looking at the cameraman it’s intense it’s a one night stand He’s a brave soul - O’Callahan Without a whip Without a chair Without the hype The mane attraction The hairs on your head standing up Electricity says, “what’s up?” Standing in the shadow - a pup Roaring reaction Looking at the cameraman it’s intense it’s a one night stand He’s a brave soul - O’Callahan 1/10/2022

I usually do not like a repetitive poem; this one is the exception to my feelings about them.

Whoa!! I have always wondered how vulnerable those men were who stood with the whip with a large lion or tiger on a stool. I have seen several times that they are putting their lives on the line each time they perform with those animals. Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. Sara

Kim, you excellently communicate the feeling that one is being greatly inspired. The heart of a poet is overly sensitive to the things going on around him, and he doesn't even know which of these things will inspire him to write.
