Chameleon Confessions Poem by Sandra Feldman
Chameleon Confessions
I can be a Queen,
Also play,
A musical cat,
How do you
Like That!
I can feel
The dramatic pulse
Born in me, that
Pushes me to act
As a love,
Deeply felt
Always ready,
To react,
With sincere
Palpitating heart,
And that's
A happy fact!
As an actress,
I can feel love
Hate or compassion
I can be violent,
I can be hateful
I can be valiant,
But never silent.
And I am happy,
That way!
But when to,
Reality
I must return,
How much of this
Fiction goes away,
And how much of it
Will stay?
Who is the real me,
And please, tell me
Are chameleons
Really free?
Great poem. Sometimes there is a dangerous psychological overlap of reality and make believe leading to unintended results. My friend Trump is a good example. He believes his own lies. Unfortunately others believe his lies and a lot of unpleasant things like Covid deaths and race tensions spike. Sorry Trumpie...you are such an easy target.
2 - It took a while for me to 'warm up to' this poem, but i like it. My favorite stanza is your last one. to MyPoemList. My Chameleon, Camille My favorite pet at home is my chameleon. She changes from chartreuse to vermilion She changes before my blurry evening eye. How, Camille, do you do that, and.....WHY? bri ;)
1 - line 2 why a comma? st.2 does " a love" refer to " dramatic impulse" ? so, you are an actor/actress? i think actresses are sometimes now referred to as actors. st.3 as an actress you are happy to have varied roles or emotions during roles, but NO silent parts! yes? (cont.)
A well created poem. Truly exceptional and splendid...5 stars*****
You pose an interesting question- - if one were friends with an actor or actress. would you be able to rest assured that what she says or feels is for real or just an act.... that would make friendship a little distant, a tad suspicious, a question without an answer- -excellent poem, Sandra... top marks
Sandra, All the lovely colors of the Chameleon in this, , . the dress rehearsal called life. QtR
