Actress Poems

the bullies gathered
an obese boy left distraught
humiliated

*a controversy
child’s presenter with one hand
courageous spirit

handicaps abused
the carers without a heart
innocence tainted

impressive actress
children of the lesser God
being deaf and dumb

I write this, broken.
Drowning.
I’m suffocating.
I’ve finally been paid back.
For the hurt I have inflicted.
So here I am.
Ready to confess.
For a promise,
Has broken me.

Here it is.
This moment was bound to happen.
I feel cold.
So cold.
So much happiness.
So much hope.
All destroyed,
In one moment.
Because...Read More

Sassy Lady
A blond bombshell beauty, 
Sensual cornflower blue eyes 
That dropped men to their knees

I watched that 
Sassy lady one night 
On the southwest corner 
Of Lexington Avenue 
And 52nd street

In a white dress
I listen to the
Click, click, click
As she...Read More

Pecos Bill daddled and skedaddle like molasses.
Sunglasses cuddled, his badass
Stetson buffalo cowboy hat.

Lashes his airish, passive donkie Mis. Do Goglles 
as he passes, airin' the lungs. 
Sits there like that passin gasses,
at the chanting masses. 

Allers among the willows, Pecos...Read More

Glory-Be on a bun, and a tube of lifesavers,
What have they done to Barbara Havers?
Where is good old sloppy Barb,
Dressed in some outlandish garb?
Where's the slogan on a T-shirt,
Something like "Bare Bums Alert",
A bit of execrable Havers taste,
Boldly displayed above...Read More

She whispered in my ear of neon lights, my mother,
life long actress,
waning star in sick bay,
zany bird nest hairstyle on display,
lock and tress erect,
skin-fold ripple eggshell pallor,
mothball end play flutter from the wings.
The voice that once enthralled a thousand hearts...Read More

Pretending the roman’a clef is fake
We portrayed bits of truth in every take
Director and author got into spiff
Author threw up his hands and said “what if”?

Protagonist was not camouflaged well
We knew him for sure. A child could tell.
Leading lady actress...Read More

GREAT ACTRESS -- WISE WOMAN     kh

She was great beyond degree 
And wise beyond her years
She could make you laugh hysterically
Or burst out into tears

But her greatest trait 
Though not well known
Was to discern any man's ways
And...Read More

I was not prepared for the fame...
Didn't realize the price of a name.
Millions of eyes were watching me-
No place to go they could not see!
My whole life was then an open book,
And anyone at all could take a look.
My former...Read More

If I'd had the chance to ask,
I would wear a different mask:
The best word to describe my face
Is, quite simply, "commonplace".
First of all, my hazel eyes
Are too weak for any prize
(Glasses worn since I was nine,
Contact lenses not my line),
My...Read More

It seems that minutes after Halloween,
before we’ve even seen the first bits of snow,
the Christmas movies are flooding our screens,
and I think we know how they’ll all go.

Start with an actress that’s half-forgotten,
who in teen films once took off her...Read More

what the!
did you say
we the people
are living
in a bad new age

we can no longer
live in a melodramatic
irredeemable way!

oblivious to
what, we do
and how it will
hurt the children
of today

you say
we the community
need to act
in a uncivilized way
clean up this 
right away

and do...Read More

A beautiful actress, a woman of woe
Just couldn’t handle all her ills

Aroused suspicions

Soon found dead in her bungalow

Born Norma Jean...Read More

THE WRONG HAPPINESS IS
SOMETHING AGAINST ME
IT IS DONE WITHOUT MY RECOMMENDATION
OR MY KNOWLEDGE
IT IS DONE IN SPITE OF ME
THAT THOSE WHO CONSPIRE AGAINST ME MIGHT
FIND HAPPINESS IN UNDOING WHAT I HAVE DONE.
YET TE SATAN IS SEEN AS GOD
THEY SPEAK TO...Read More

The mole became famous,...Read More

Indeed, 'Rigby & Evens' Limited,
