Limelight Huitain
Lie to me but only on stage,
believe me I need to trust you.
I will be riding a rampage
if I have a reason not to.
Entertaining the payment due
is not a show you would enjoy.
Prior to speaking catch a clue.
Leave it in the limelight, Playboy.

In the Limelight
By the dim glow of candlelight
Flick-flick-flickering on the wall
By the soft glow of moonlight
Tip-tip-tiptoeing down the hall
By the harsh glow of neon light
Blink-blink-blinking over the door
By the warm glow of sunlight
Skip-skip-skipping across the floor

The dance of dances
As a dancer one day
I was in love to to be dancing.
As a dancer one day,
my feet couldn't stand on.
Rehearsing for hours for nothing,
but bleeding,
on a dance permormance
I couldn't be anymore.
The dance of dances
for me has reached the end.
My dance shoes still feet me
but the steps don't feet
my shoes to keep

Many Poets Came To the Limelight Through Their Dark Nights
Life brings out poetry from the inner man and woman
A word like a river flows through the mind
And darkness turns to light while
Many poems are written because of the dark night
Fortified through their human existence
Poets are pressed on either side
They often ride toward a battle
As they rattle with the elements of life
One page

Limelight
Dark and murky they hide their face
political appetite for many
I don't have any
even if there was a parking space
A star some born in which to be
some hunger for destruction
fear of abduction
from the paparazzi
I was almost there
I was a singer and songwriter
quite an igniter
but I didn't care
You must stay on top
or you'll be in infomercials
and winding

Avoiding the Limelight
Avoiding The Limelight
Written: by Miracle Man
10-25-2019
Being coruscate,
has never been my style.
I’ve always been one,
keeping a low profile.
Which makes me,
a behind the scenes kind of guy.
One who’ll have your back,
if you’re a trusted ally.
I’ve been told before,
that I’m a born facilitator.
But slackers would say,
that’s synonymous with dictator.
But I’ve found in life,
that cream rises to the

Annual Limelight
The season's almost over,
and I hate seeing it leave
without a whisper,
complaint or compliment,
while poets
bask in literary sunlight,
thinking the moment is eternal.
April's month of poetry
is soon to end.

Limelight
Once I had to go on stage
reading my poetry, I was a nervous wreck
but when up there bathed in light
that shone just for me I was in my element.
Each poet had read three poems, but I was unstoppable
until the arranger of the festival dragged off stage.
The audience consisted of 50 people who are not

Come In Limelight
Who know about upcoming days?
What about next day rise?
Moving earth moving lives
Desire of love worry to revive
This blue sky view every thing
You are also viewed not unseen
You wanted to hide in the beauty of sky
You wanted to hide in starry blinking light
Why you wanted to do so
Why you wanted to hide
Show your appear
And increase

Center of Attention and Limelight
Center of Attention and Limelight
Makes no difference
What color of limelight was,
Trump is in again.
Center of Attention
Is always his preferred place
Right in the middle.
Limelight may be a bad
color that no one else
prefers except him.

The Limelight
Many crave the limelight’s dazzle
While some others shun its glare,
Fearing that intensive scrutiny
Would be too hard to bear.
I am somewhere in the middle.
Though I post my poems to share,
In the hopes that they’ll be read by those
With time and will to spare,
As I soak up all the comments
That appear from here and there
I delight in

Signs Beyond the Sighs Design 8 Resurrecting Love In the Limelight 8
the scent of your spirits beauty
stitched in loves breeze
caused my soul to struggle to breath
could it be???
you and me???
finally beginning our dance for eternity
well
I suppose we'll see
I feel as if i've searched every sea
every angle of the Earths topography
in all honesty
the tears of my smiling spirit
sing and sift through the wreckage and lift
my heart from

Posthumous Limelight-Any Sad Poem
Posthumous Limelight
My boy, a young lad, died fighting the Iraq war.
It could be any war, could be my son,
Your son or anyone's son, what does it matter?
All wars are same, all sons are same.
A lot of decorum, a lot many bravery medals
Came posthumously.
His name was in the newspapers-
Photographs everywhere-
Interviews-cameras-speeches!
Stop! Why can't everyone stop this
