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!

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…
