Analysis of Stage Left; Exit To Earth



There are times the light is too bright,
Among an assorted few discrepancies;
Especially the transitions of low to high,
Seeming involve brief black-out sprees.

But for any losses of finer mechanics,
The details are often startling accurate;
N' emotion's are pure devotee 'fanatics',
Delight of all sophisticated confabulate.

Interaction is plain rich, almost genetic,
Cause n' effect married in aesthetic way;
Handicap is pardonable in mode eclectic,
When truth is exposed in logical display.

But by far the change-up of cyclic roles,
Makes the Shakesperean masterpiece's;
Pall by comparison with realism to extol,
Alas, it's only preparation, while the.. . . . .
Real thing even scared Jesus!

Tracy Bollinger

Always liked to write and have written poems periodically over the years. I've never shared them withanyone except for immediate family. Decided to take the plunge and put some out 'there'. But bearwith me, I don't really know what I'm doing. This is therapy of sorts and I hope to let go of the need to rhyme. It's a mental condition. I recently found out my grandmother used to rhyme all herletters to anyone. Go figure. I hope you all enjoy my ranting! I do like what I've seen other's post. more…
