This Is What Happens When You Don't say Break A Leg

When you pour gasoline on the stage

o risk it going up in flames

From an actor who thinks

He is so hot.

 

But at lest the script

Is tucked away

In a fire proof safe.

 

But unfortunately

It causes the writer

To do a rewrite

Even though the director

Has already interrupted

His thoughts.

 

Now the play

Will not start on time

but the crowd can’t wait.

 

That is when the critic

Steps in

To give it a good review

And makes the theater his.

Reviews

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

Loving this metaphor
Great read thanks

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Why thank you

[jacob erin-cilberto]

the lead actor might burn up the stage...but the review might scorch his career to ashes
or lift like a smart blue wisp of smoke....
that surrounds the director and tells him to quit revising...oh yes, much like the readers tell the poet
to quit doing same.
the muse is so good at having us second guess.
love the metaphor here.
sometimes I want to pour gasoline on all my poetry.

[John the Baptist]

Yes, that's the way of it. Critics pull the strings in the end.
