I advised him, “Take Ebonics, you hear?”...

playwright
hope all-right
play to fight
play in light
rather at night
yet theatre
has mighty hater
master of disaster
`precious' director
like in surgical theater
script lands in morgue
your success equal to director's mock
fight the rock
one day you'll be the rock...

An inebriated vixen promoted duress
as she and George played "Get the Guests."
A fractured malevolence mirroring Macbeth
resulted in her first-born's death.
Atop his imagined coffin, a snapdragon rests.

I was once an actor,
But the lawyer came.
I was a fighter, too,
But the referee came.

They chased me throughout the forest.
They kidnapped me from the wilderness.
I was stripped to skin.
I faced death.

Now I am fenced
within the prison of helotry.
Now I cluster with the billions ---
Fenced within the prison of helotry....

Dilemma

I’m living two lives
and that is my dilemma
I’ve one life to live.
            ***

Note:
   Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) was a famous Irish poet, novelist, and playwright who was arrested for ‘gross indecency’ on April 6, 1895, and was convicted of ‘sodomy,’ for which he served two years hard labour (1895-1897) at Newgate Prison in London, England....

Once for whom the bell tolls did exist
the playwright and the war journalist.
  Oscar was Wilde it’s true
  but Hemingway sure knew
the importance of being Ernest!

                     ~~~



Both men had huge egos. Ernest Hemingway
was a war correspondent and novelist who 
wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls. Oscar Wilde
was an Irish playwright and poet who wrote 
The Importance of Being Earnest....

He believes that his life is a big joke;
a play that was written for him before
he was born. Sometimes he prays,
asking God to change his character;
a young man who loses bets of any kind,
often wakes up in a dumpsite smelling liquor,
hears a suicide incident and wishes he was the one....
Freewill doesn't exist in his school of thought. He believes
the Cosmic Playwright sometimes sleeps,
as His plays keep running.......

BIO MODIFIED – CONCEITED IMPOSTER

Conceited
A poet a playwright, an actor and dreamer.
I love my reflection, a challenge, applause.
I’ve thought of a screenplay, a sit-com and novel.
I feel I am perfect, a genius, appealing.
I fear I’ll be wrong on all three of those feelings.
I’d like to write music, to sing and to dance.
A resident of dreamland, I don’t have a chance.

Fire he screamed…
From the lookout tower
Sloshing buckets arrived in the angst of men

Fire he wailed…
From his ghastly nightmares
In came his friends with those comforting words

Fire he jested…
In the crowded celebration chamber
Psychiatrists came running with pencils and pads

Fire he directed…
As a flat and distant playwright
Columnists praised on the papers front page

Fire he cried…
All buckled in a straightjacket
And no one cared to pay attention...
