I really, really loved this. Simple but meaningful, and so much suggestion in there about the playwright in life…

Good work! MH :)

Nice use of rhythm and rhyme. The only stanza I feel that upsets this a little bit is no. 3. I think the “largely ignored” part has a few too many syllables. Other than that, it flows nicely and tells an interesting story.

good job. you win at life.

nicely done. :)

Wow. Painfully beautiful and sadly true. I love the first stanza.

FTW.

FTW.

I love that, and i love the way the last line almost doesnt fit but that kind of ends it nicely i guess. Like closure, I guess it symbolises the play writes end.

Melancholy as it is, it’s beautiful, it’s simple, and I’m inclined to say there’s something frank and pure about it, too. The only slight awkwardness, like stovo said, first line of the third stanza. The syllables are all there, but it’s slightly awkward when scanned. It’s nothing major at all, overall this is beautiful.

And it’s true, more often than not artists are appreciated after death.
(I have to agree with Fish, too. ^^)

Simply beautiful

So depressing, but beautiful. And yet there is some lingering air of fullfilment for the playwright in my eyes. Bananas!

Such gravity from simple scheme
Hath from Ms. Davis shot;
‘Tis true to say you fit the theme–
A way with words, you’ve got!

As does befit such writing, where
The authors have great skills,
I humor my desirous air
To spot you five pencils.

Congrats on the feature, definitely a strong reentrance. ^^

See this is why i say (and i do say often) That the legendary “Mask by the Moon” is the most promising prodigy of our time. She is like the Mozart of mini fiction. If you cut her words will spill out and she will bleed in elegant prose. My wife always said we would say we knew her when. Nikki you rock!

@Rorshach..It takes courage to be as dorky as you are, hehehehe i commend your bravery.

Rorschach deserves a hug for the response. :D

gorgeous.

Awesome! Just plain awesome. Glad I managed to come back for this.

And I ain’t no playwright, or poet either, but the last line seems off to me, even if it is extremely clever. ;D Maybe take off a syllable or something?
