poetry

Since I mentioned this in my 100 things, I thought I'd let all read it. I wrote it Feb. 16, 1989.

Teddy bears
M.J.'s the name
A special gift
for Valentine's Day
Panda
Black and White
holding eight white and red balloons
Beary special person
Beary special senders
Friends
Panda
Represents:
Love
Joy
Hope
A smile
M.J.
A panda
A teddy bear.

It's not as great as a poem as I remember it being. All well. I also mentioned the wall that goes up when I attempt to act. I wrote a poem about that. I wrote it October 13, 1989.

Do they listen to me?
Are try-outs a joke?
No.
Yes.
It's pointless
It's hopeless
I'm good.
On stage, I get scared
I freeze.
Offstage,
No one is better
at acting
than me.
