Celebrating National Poetry Month...with more spoken word...
Off Broadway
Today, I reflected on the joy of going to Broadway
There, to see a friend, a star if you may.
Many hours spent observing, reflecting, and sharing,
For this friend was definitely one for caring.
This Broadway actress many roles did perform.
From gatherings, laughter, and meals, one was never forlorn.
No one minded more the limelight,
Playing roles, including a singer, a help-mate, such a delight!
For a time, the role of mayor was hers to transform,
Changing hats, literally and figuratively,
All colors, sizes, shapes, her personality displaying literally.
Then, her show left Broadway, moving south.
Memories and flashbacks followed then by word of mouth.
Facebook becoming the link
As days, weeks, months passed in a blink.
This morning, though, for just a mere second
I pretended that to me she did beckon
As I drove down Broadway
Choosing to forget that no longer may we play
At plotting and planning
At calling and chatting
At mending and making
At forgetting and friending,
But...
That show did off Broadway go,
Only after receiving, though, star reviews in tow.
Thanks, Glenda, for being such a superstar,
For being a friend, for that you definitely are.
