Watching the sun make its escape as it sinks beneath the horizon

Everything becomes more magical in that twilight moment

Snippets and whispers of other realms peek from beyond the veil

That opportunity sets as darkness brings down the curtain

Cast (an acrostic poem)

Character acting her way through life

Anyone who knew her would find out they didn’t really know her

She was that good at putting on a performance

The only thing that was real was her curtain call

Slippery (an acrostic poem)

Soapy bubbles covering his body he dropped his soap by his feet

Leaning down to retrieve it, he took a small step.

It left him unbalanced, he reached out to stop the fall, but down he went

Pulling the shower curtain down with him

Putting him on the floor, underneath the curtain, with the shower still on

Everyone rushed to the bathroom and saw him there sprawled on the floor

Reaching for the toilet, he levered himself into a sitting position

Yielding him a standing ovation from his roommates and a ten from the Russian judge

Debut (an acrostic poem)

Danny watched as the curtain went up on opening night

Everything should run smoothly.  They had rehearsed it for months

But not five minutes in a rope broke and part of the scenery randomly changed

Unveiling the plot twist that no one knew they were not expecting

There goes the five star reviews!
