I'm cheating again. I actually wrote this poem a few years ago. I even submitted it to a contest. I didn't win anything, but I think it's pretty great.
Playbill
Peace and passion sound in style
Myth and mystery coincide
Enjoy this epic for a while
Fore death and drama are applied
The content constantly consuming
The scenery serenely set
Light and love are often looming
Fame and fashion don’t forget
We act and are oft acted on
Teaching technique learning art
The songs we write the cast is chosen
Our backgrounds known let’s do our part
This living legend of a life
Is real and ready to reveal
The singing staged and structured strife
The haughty henchman’s heavy heel
It’s simple in a pre-set venue
To know and feel and understand
This publication must continue
We can direct we can command
A new collector’s compilation
Though gifted it’s a grueling task
There’s failure and there’s frustration
But in bright beauty sometimes bask
So break a leg and stage a farce
Improvise and entertain
Performance of high class is sparse
Put on a show and there remain
5 years ago
