Best Spotlight Poems
a reflection
sunlight
solitude
sky..
a sigh
Stellars under the darkest night
Glowing plight in constellation
Silhouettes afar from the moonlight
Speeding lights in formation
Stellars faint in a blue Moon
Sellars taint in a covered Moon
Faces of stellars form in names
Braces of altars dorm in flames
Stellars catalyze in many places
Like sheer diamonds in pieces
Stellars ascend in night's bleakest
As the Moon descend at its weakest
Each stellar behind the Moon smiles
As the Moon traipse and beguiles
Facing all other crystal lights
Moon stays bright like Stellars in spotlights
In the spotlight she played on her flute.
Though she tried, her performance was mute.
The crowd heard not a note,
just a squeal from her throat
as they pelted her with rotten fruit.
THE DREAMS
Surely, one day
We will have to get to our way
Forgetting the bad past
Hoping for the good future really fast.
Working day and night
Whether under a torch or a sunlight
Keep succeeding, oh my dear,
Keeping the things in the mind very clear.
Your nightmares should scare you
And the will be the one to dare you
But don't forget to think extreme
And feel accomplished after completion of your dream.
Everything gets changed by a positive hope
Every stream has a great scope
Until it's done,
You foolish, don't even think the battle has been won.
Start working hard
Or else become a security guard
You can do everything with your strong will
And soon the results will make you thrill.
Do the hard work now
So that you aren't embarrassed and have to bow
Try not quit
Just accept a bit.
Fix your hard goals
If you want to enjoy and eat a rice bowl
Take it up as a mission
Only one thing in your vision.
How fast goes away the time,
Now stop playing with the slime
Be brave but do not cry
Answer everyone who asks you why.
This is a very tough fight
But work hard if you want to be in the spotlight
So, try and give a start
Hope you all will become smart.
You should have its fear
You could even get your eyes filled with tear
Everything is very precious
And good future us auspicious.

Let the spotlight shine
And let the music out
Don't waste no time
I need to dance about
Singer in the spotlight
Giving his songs away
Makin' life feel just right
At least just for today
Float me off from here
I need to see the sunlight
Maybe I'm not clear
I need to get my head right
Help me out this time
Play my favorite song
Even out of time
You can't get it wrong
Singer in the spotlight
A million miles away
Makin' life feel just right
Can I hear him play
That's the very one
I can float away
Even when it's done
Another one should play
Don't take that bow
Don't go away
Do you have to leave now
We all want to play
Singer in the spotlight
Let us hear you play
Makin' life feel just right
Oh please won't you stay
The show goes down the road
May be back one day
Pay the bills I owed
Put some cash away
And when they come back 'round
Well you never can say
If my money's sound
Could be on my way
Singer in the spotlight
With his band at play
Makin' life feel just right
Never go away
Placing myself in the context of the first person.
puts me in the spotlight.
Where I dont want to be.
What Trump Wants: according to John Kelly- Retired Four-star General Trump’s former Chief of staff
—Unchecked power
—Praise of Hitler
—Dictator for a day
—Complete command over our Military
—"Stupid people, our General’s aren’t even General’s”-Daddy Don
—Military against the people
—a new Constitution
Look yonder y’all
to a mighty military
which will answer to me
I’m your fearless leader
in perpetuity
No need to put much emphasis on likability
Despite my personality, I’m in command
It’s an end to all wars, just don’t mind the
chaos I caused while in charge
Some will starve, like those in Gaza
No one that matters,
No bleeding hearts
in my penthouse plaza, I luxuriate here
Jauntily goosestepping
My soldiers march alongside me in lockstep
They do as I say
Pay no heed to the constitution
I did it my way
What you want is fearlessness
Ignore my derangement, put it aside!
Policy is more important, deport everyone
There’s no place to hide
Policy not feelings, policy not emotions!
Not a sentient human being.
by I Am Anaya
My Dear Leader
I have no emotion, I have no feeling
Sentimentality and compassion are weak
So stifle such mush when you speak!
Vermon sneak in, a toxic flood
Poisoning our pure untainted blood!
We shall seek and destroy the enemy within
In lockstep we'll wipe out their sin!
by RG
Just like football I am a crowd pleaser
I got fans cheering me on up and down the field
My cleats stay unknown to the ground
Because they never met
No, the cleats are too fast to stay in one spot
But if the ground met my cleats, I would retire
Many years from now could that be possible
In this moment, I hear people scream aloud my name
I'm in this to win it
I play it to take it, to be it, I am it
The uniform number five
The spotlights shinning on me
I know what it feels like to be above ground
Body in the air, Ball in my grip
Split seconds till I pass that zero yard mark
Score board even screams out my name
Lovely victory knows me and my fans well
So where were you at my game?
Many desire for it
Even balloon boy and his family
And the White House state dinner guests too
Lying there way in getting media and tabloid
Attention for all to see
In making national media history
It’s ridiculous what people would do
For the Hollywood spotlight
A celebrity status
Many try to claim
Doing whatever for all to see their name
Risking even jail time
It’s not worth this or even a fine
Hollywood spotlight
Is not for those who yearn for it
But for those who truly earn it

Spotlight
So many people want to live in the spotlight,
Yet only a few want everyone to know about their daily life.
Some celebrities don't want every inch of the spotlight.
Except the Kardashians whom live for the spotlight.
It's a crazy world we live in
and everyone is a victim.
There's a snake in the system,
and it's looking to bite with some venom.
It's like contagion all over again
And no one knows what the cure is.
An infection that spreads at the speed of a virus,
Exposing every dark light with the spotlight.
My turn in the light, I don't want anyone but me in the light,
Put my face on the jumbo screen like an emoji screen.
I want the attention all the other celebs get,
acting like it's a contest.
Put me on the red carpet in front of all the cameras,
So, I can pose for the people with the cameras.
I love the spotlight like the moonlight,
Up in the sky shining like sunlight.
Put me in the spotlight, I love the spotlight.
Put me in the spotlight, I love the spotlight.
The only place I want to be is in the spotlight.
If I was in Gods spotlight
I hope that He could see,
For every sin committed
I am truly sorry.
I hope He sees I'm trying,
To put my faith in Him,
To walk His path He's made for me
Then eternal life I'll win.

I lie in quiet wait of Morning Sun questioning how far I might run before Her rays breach the eastern sky,,,,,finding me once more within glow of that bright spotlight ,,, exposed for all that I am not.
For hidden within my desire to escape lies the truth of an empty soul exposed for all to see as the once bright embers of my dreams now lay cold and dark, drained of the passions which once ruled my life.
Somewhere on the hardwood
Play grounders said you were good
Talent agent brought you indoors
They were really fir sure
In between the flashing lights
Gleaming and bright
Loud noises
Drowning out sociable voices
You were able to score
More and More
Traveling to different cites on a promotional sporting exhibition tour
Whether it was taking trains, planes or automobiles
You avoided the defensive steals
Moving a team from the land known for lakes
Franchise success deemed the spectacle not a fake
It was a city nicknamed angels
Fame and fortune façade had no danger
Ad mist the wild fiery glow
“It’s like you know”
A place where shaking ground could make one honestly state ‘it’s time to go’
Two or three points defined the scoring way
Navigating through the polluted gray
All done for contractual pay
For plastic
Making all these baskets
Or was the glamour true
Better than representing the red white and blue
Wearing 76er colors gold medal cool
Freedom has been under the microscopic test
Maybe it was our attitude touting ‘we are the best’
Everybody now sinks field goals in a bubble
Due to health care trouble
Staying six feet apart
Following rules from the CDC chart
Making issue not wearing face masks visiting the mini mart
Taking away life’s trusting fun
Infecting the idea ‘going out and getting sun’
Reported many are resting in peace
Not much word if there are markers acknowledging all the deceased
Many times celebrities were welcomed nice gestures
Acts could be putting on pressure
In the same fashion as an artistic academic coach professor
Remember when getting the open clear lane
During this civil game
Where not bouncing a ball is a walk
Penalized turnover people whisper and talk
Four others work together performing in the show
Passing around this round rock
Skills learned respectfully in friendly competition on the block
Swishing into the nets
Nightly one hundred a team is supposed to get
Sending people home entertained not upset
While flying in the air
Doesn’t matter who taunted the dare
It is what it is
