On Tour Poem by Mark Dillon
On Tour
I'm sitting here with a great big frown.
The feckin lights have broken down.
The producer is frantic and pulling out his hair.
If you've ever worked with him, that's not rare.
He's ranting and raveing
'Oh, what's to be done.What good is a show,
if it can't feckin run'.
Then the sparky comes in and trips some switches.
Checks out the lighting board and fixs the glitches.
Then the director smiles.
Meaning I can smile too.
And we're all set to go.
Set, Cast and Crew.
Wow enjoyable glitch fixing poem! Kudos for a poetic realistic poem.
Interesting background to this poem. Raw cut language enhances the atmosphere. Personally I would have reduced the amount of rhyming, to emphasise discord, until harmony comes at the end, but it still works OK.
A wonderful poem creating the intense atmosphere, of behind the scenes, at the shows on rhe drama circuit!
Very descriptive write - sounds somewhat stressful though. Well written.
