behind the closed curtain


sighs and smiles
pats on the back:
          another success

we recovered from our fumbled lines
                and tongue-twisters


god, i can act
and the audience knows it

rehearse my lines again
in fast-forward sing-song
as i walk backstage,

already preparing
for tomorrow night's show

    Wow. For such a short piece, this sure packs a punch. I love how you structured this poem; it had the feeling of haiku, with the words of free style. Wonderfully done, and thanks for entering.
