Best Prompter Poems

catapulted by a magic trampoline I pass the gates of heaven

          no border control

                     free passage

Putting his whole heart into it
Belting out the chorus so loud
Needing a prompter for the lyrics
No one listening in the crowd.

Signing up to sing again
Waiting for his next go
Playing the air guitar
Putting on a show.

The groupies are in his mind
He cannot carry a note
Everyone has...

Turn on news, want to hear what's real
don't care about politics or how you feel.

Tell me what, where, when, anything that's new
not important what you think or your view.

Reading a prompter emotionally, pretending you care
thinking you're special, got the job because of your hair.

News is...

The poet had said :
The world is a stage.

The stage

First Scene
Flood of spotlights
The actor in centre-stage, walks straight
The eyes looking up to the sky
The hands intimately hold, and held
The footsteps close, walk alongside
The figures liked, stay on
Others float around unwanted
The breath strong
The presence demanding
Cares for...

Act 1

Lights dim, a pregnant pause for silence to bedim.
A nod, then curtain rises, lights and eyes pries
Scene 1 to open with actors all set in pose enfrozen.
Called to action by director's wink, blink, nod of head.

Act 2

The play pans out as script reels unwind
Cued...

Act 4.

Marat

Where do these tears come from? My makeup
is melting in the spotlight. She has gone.
Oh, how I wished to tell her… I did not.
I wished to tell but I forgot the words
to say according to my role. The closer 
the morning, the more yellowish...

For this contest I’m asked to abide by the rules

and thus I sit and pen my thoughts obediently

but cannot check the renegade’s sweet rebellion


Limit cussing and cursing:
	
               however I am told...

I am guilty for the nation
I’ve no business to the world
In a play of no sensation
I’m a prompter of one word
Who would share a consolation
For the character of mine
I’m a proof of antination
Well disjointed from the time
Mental tenant of the era
Of the sixties – seventies...

a veil descended upon his restless soul

converted into apathy and grave sadness

no need to take off the mask of shadows

there was no living persona left to reveal


he dreamt of Venetian Carnival nights

but the only seduction was an illusion

of free flowing movement in stagnation

Henry was well...

In America today
our president will stand at the Nation's 
sacred podium (a canned speech) will read from 
a prompter, he will bluster, pontificate the Democrat lie -- 

how freedom is truly the apple of his Marxist Party's enslaving
Eye -- Freedom on life-support, on oxygen, bed...

T0 Spencer Snyder, age 80

		Curtain Call    
He signed you for a starring role, with no time to rehearse,
None had played the part before, so no-one better or worse,
Been a long run and the folks keep coming, your lines change like your sox,
Director...

Somebody who had  seen Miss Ann
Advised her to just drop her Dan, 
Mentioning my own serious plan
To take her to my secure clan
And keep her in a lodge with fan...

And Miss Ann burst into laughter
But did not say a word after,
Yet, did not close...
