I don’t like solitude,
Being alone yes, but
With a support cast.

Blank pages bother
Me, it is why I have
auditions for the parts.

Every letter word even
Punctuation mark are
My poetic characters.

Sometimes I’ve need to
Choreograph individual
Lines for different roles.

Often, groupings can be
Adverse to my formations
Without rhyme or reason.

Rehearsals in the form of
Editing scripts are best if
Done during final recitals.

Gauging audience reaction,
Now that is an art form in
Itself, there is no clapometer.

At least, I never got a round
of applause asked for encores
Or got a standing ovation.
