Movies

Project 

Separation's glory

And missteps..

And

Seem the reality

With nothing

Projecting..

Characters galore

Not knowing 

Their stardom......

Live in small town north of Toronto
Entertain the neighbours by doing the mambo
Quite graceful I admit
To watch, one needs a ticket
My path to stardom will surely follow...

What famous singer had a real nose problem
Frank Snotra of course, still rose to stardom
It dripped in his dreams
A scene quite obscene
Became known later as Frank Snostrum...

Got poems in my beano just bursting to bloom

Stardom awaits but need power to resume...

The time has arrived my good friends
To great heights of stardom, I ascend
The role I have chosen
In the films of motion
A sex idol, the next Clooney I contend

Super stardom is where I want to be
into the bright lights and oversea
Telling my story as I reach my dream
Nothing will be possible without my team
As I walk toward the light
Stardom is so, so bright...

Listen to poem:

the universe went about its business
pretty much ignoring i existed
that's when i climbed the stairs to stardom
and swore i'd never look back

My memory allows me at this very late stage
To still recall a picture of me at 4 years of age
In my hooded brown snowsuit
Front walk looking cute
Destined for stardom, earning a dirty big wage...

The agency delivers me to celebrity
and it's a long way from obscurity
but the price paid is high,
it's like
try and imagine grey
lay with one eye shut
and put the light out.

That's stardom
come and get it....

She stands, hallowed in sunlight, no, limelight
Waving manicured hands at screaming fans
Smiling at the flashbulbs
Empty eyes not really seeing
Empty mind not really comprehending
Empty heart constanlty weeping....

Those who live in the bright spotlight of fame

Soon grow weary of critical acclaim

As targets for media seeking to shame

Their stardom goes nova in a burnt out flame

Accompanied by cutlery

hit ceramic soprano 'tinks'

Operatic hot sudsy path to stardom love ballad 

 
Tears drip dramatically

tap's hydrating heart sinks

Acoustics of kitchen,  false impression of talent...

Words flutters her firm 
feathers and
flies to freedom,
she whirls in the wind of 
wonders,
wielding wisdom,
her spirit swirls and soars 
steadfastly to stardom,
without thrills, her theme, 
thrust will be thrown into 
thorns and thraldom....

Star
Shine on
Shine upon
Me, in the night
Sparkling in my dreams
Show me, to look above
Lead me, where I need to be
I want to be able to to see
Hope from your stardom, shining in dark
To uplift my spirit......................forever free

electrifying
when peering through earth's skylight
angels love the sight

effects arising
from hued sun so far and near
like scent of rose dear

magical with moon
above crisp snow and pine trees
nature's mysteries

skies largely maroon
with pastels of the spectrum
night's ageless stardom...

From the ashes of fire
   We fertilize our crops
From the failures of the past
   We forge ahead for a glorious future
From the scars we carry as badges
   We are reminded of the price of stardom
From the pains we endured
   We are reminded of the gains we enjoy
From the grass we arose 
   We are enjoying His Grace

stardom of the year
on its welcoming music
ushers our new dreams

culminate great task
snog the sweet and bitter past
cool somersault starts

blow New Year's trumpets 
commence it with smiles and cheers
have a joyful year
