Oh, you got the money;
A star is on the rise,
Just show those eyes,
China blue with a world view
Peering past the lies.

Did you get the part?
Oh, you got the part;
An actress is born,
So far from Kansas corn,
Sign that autograph, they love your laugh
And know you play the French horn.

Did you stay on top?
Oh, you stayed on top,
‘Till the years came and went
And parts to play were not sent;
But you had it all, everyone takes a fall
From the stage we only rent.

The Rented Stage

Topic: Lifepoems

Did you get the money?
Oh, you got the money;
A star is on the rise,
Just show those eyes,
China blue with a world view
Peering past the lies.

Did you get the part?
Oh, you got the part;
An actress is born,
So far from Kansas corn,
Sign that autograph, they love your laugh
And know you play the French horn.

Did you stay on top?
Oh, you stayed on top,
‘Till the years came and went
And parts to play were not sent;
But you had it all, everyone takes a fall
From the stage we only rent.

Very clever analogy! Your repeated questions to open each stanza set a new marker for rhyme; provide continuity; and lead the reader to each stage. Nothing has been left to question here; it is a statement that begs agreement, start to finish.
Well planned out, with a message we cannot ignore.

I agree with Soft. Damn fine choice of platform to illustrate that all is fleeting.

Very unique indeed. Great rhyme scheme too!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
