Skies are sort of like people:
One can label them with the
same general nomenclature;
describe them all using basic,
prime colors while overlooking
the subtle hues of imagination--
I have always been more attracted
by what was just around the corner,
nearly in sight—like silk clinging
to a woman’s body, seeming naked
yet underexposed. Too often we
reveal more than is necessary--
way too much for anyone to keep
caring….

Oscar`s
Oscar night
Red carpet and
Clammy armpits
Valium
Skeletal women
Gasping for a ***
To smoke in public
Is social suicide
Wearing the latest
State of the art
Dresses
This vast frivolity
Is seen by millions

Boycott or else
What if like our President
someone's trying to split the race?
How did they make their millions
did they sue to make a case?
Of all the movies that they made
are they saying that it means
That they alone and no one else
did dominate the scenes?
Now we're going to have to choose
which Actors we go see
Will we be going to see the best?
or politically corrected "me"
Can't draw winners from a "hat"
they'll find another way
It's not about the talent now
it's who has the most "sway"
A shame it has to be this way
now there will always be a doubt
As to (was that Oscar really earned?)
or because of someones clout
I could truly vote both sides
no need to threaten me
For the mirror I look in each day
is looking back at me.....

A star is born while a soul is torn on the Hollywood walk of fame,
With dreams that matter or a life that's shattered in slabs of pavement pain,
For some it's to much and others never enough were falling stars are drained,
Ferocious appetites will consume for a life that may ruin them on the Hollywood walk of fame.

Oscars
Oscars night is here again,beautiful women and gorgeous men.
Play acting is what they do on the silver screen for me and you.
Some will win some will lose,the film academy will chose
Fasion statements galore with Gucci armani,and Christian dior
Rubies and diamonds shining bright,bringing sparkle to the night
Backless,strapless and shoulder less gowns some worn with a frown
Helen mirren as the queen looking quite pristine
Penelope Cruz in her Jimmy choo's
What a spectacle what a show and when they won wow
