Audition at Stage Door

As an Artist of world acclaim... 

I spread my golden lined wings to 

welcome your embrace of charmed smiles...  

Dressed in finest fashion with Vogue design   

I turn a pretty leg long and seductive as 

I read the script to the Movie "Born of Desire".  

The Director is impressed as he keeps abreast 

of the latest profiles for coming attractions.  

A Shoe-in for the Lead, I grasp the intention of 

the narritive and give it my best Shot with ardor... 

"I beg your Pardon, I didn't promise to be as gifted as 

Katherine Hepburn... "  She was the greatest" !!

The best part of this poem is your playfulness & imagination. This might be the furthest ANYONE has taken personification of something from nature . . . you set the scene so strikingly, along with a mighty sassy feathery who really seems to think she CAN compete with ole Kate! *wink! wink!* This modesty is not to be believed, in my estimation. Ms. PEPburn (the bird) knows she can kick the pants off anything that comes out of Hollywood! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

dearest Margie... so much fun to share this poem with you. Love the way you view this as being playful. I really wish Katherine Hepburn could read my poem. You are the closest to having her attitude. I am looking forward to reading your book with all your expressions. Charmed and feathery, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

A entertaining story in the poetry dear Pat. I liked the honest tone of the words leading to the strong ending. Thank you my dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

dear John. thank you for leaving a very charming review for an elegant Lady, Katherine Hepburn. Her presence was like poetry. gently, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

She was a great lady and you are welcome Pat.

Dear Pat:
Definitely using your imagination and images to tell you story, as you a are betting on a part as an actress with flair! Being seductive is all part of the gig and you showed it well. I particularly like the line " I spread my golden-lined wings"...you must have had an amazing costume to describe as you did. Lovely poem!

[Lydia Shutter]

What a lovely post this is....I was brought to the scene. Your imagination is like a magic carpet that transports us to colorful places. Yes, Katherine Hepburn was the greatest. I agree. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Lydi for your review. It is an artistic adventure to be on Stage dressed for the part,
Life is a Stage and we are all actors. truly, Pat

[Fran Marie]

Katherine Hepburn..
a one of kind actress
she had her own style
graceful as a bird in
flight gliding smoothly
a lovely piece here Pat
I'm sure Kate would love
this sweet poem..

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Fran Marie... somehow I failed to thank you for
a charming review. Yes, Katherine Hepburn was an elegant Lady that will always be an inspiration to us.
tenderly, Pat

[Fran Marie]

not a problem
dear Pat;

What a splendid bird, with a flourish of wonderful colour. Orange can not fail to be noticed. Of course neither could you fail to notice Katherine Hepburn, another "bird" of the human species. And she was splendid too. I love how you have approached this poem Pat. Such an imaginative and creative write. Very much enjoyed. What a bird, and what an actress. She certainly was one of the greats. A fine tribute to her, as well as a nod to the natural world.

dear Chris... I appreciate your review and I also admire Katherine Hebburn and her steadfast attitude. gently, Pat

[Robert Trakofler]

Katharine Hepburn has always reminded me of my mother they both have the same mannerisms and polite nature they even have similar voices:) I love how you transposed her personality into the bird and even as I looked at the picture again I can see Hepburns smile:)

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Bunny... you are a darling to leave such an endearing review... to be reminded of your Mother and her Katharine Hepburn voice... she was an Actress that was a Natural on so many levels. My Mother Edith Irene was a Natural beauty and beautiful person also. Thanks for stopping by and hope you have seen some Spring blossoms on trees as we saw here in Virginia today. As ever, Pat

[Robert Trakofler]

yes lots of sun today:)

[Sami Khalil]

It is marvelous to honor this world-acclaimed actress with your beautiful take on her career. I see her inspiration is upon you. Maybe girls growing up at her time wanted to be her and so forth...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami... lovely to read your review. Yes, Katharine Hepburn was a Classy Lady that charmed our lives with her sultry approach on Stage. We Ladies come in many personalities with feathery fashions and appetites. We like Gentle Men who have the Midas touch... truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! So true. You are welcome..

[Einstein Noodle]

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Gene... you are my silver lining with reviews that tickle my fancy... yes, “those were the days my friend... we thought they would never end”. Katharine played the lead in an old movie “Stage Door”. I miss her. truly, Pat

[Dave Brown]

Your mention of Katherine takes me back to a much earlier era
Somehow that has all slipped away and I hardly noticed but that was an era of major stars

[Patricia Wedel]

Dear Dave... I especially love Katherines’ personality and comedy abilities. It was an era of film Noir..
that we cherish. truly, Pat

[emmajoy]

Your writing, whatever the theme, is absolutely enchanting, Pat! Am I correct or not that Katherine Hepburn played in a movie called ' The African Queen'? At uni I belonged to a Film Club. For two years I saw some of the best movies I've ever seen. I think the previous was in colour but also saw many black and white films and famous European ones too. Think of so many of them having fantastic scripts and subtleties plus stars who really shone.. such as Margaret Hepburn.

Yet again your love of feathery creatures take centre stage.. or should that be film set?!.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Em... so lovely to read your review.
Katherine Hepburn is like the evening star... always there in our hearts to inspire us. She and Spencer Tracy loved each other and played in a few movies together. Yes, African Queen was when she was older.. perhaps she starred with Humphrey Bogart.
Best wishes across the Pond. With 💗 love, Pat

[emmajoy]

You're welcome, Pat, as always.
