The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Stood
Slightly to the right
Not centre stage
Soaking up all the glory.
Solving
A lifetimes woe
In a ten minute slot
And changing the heart
Of a nation.
Was that the plot...?
Seriously?

The Stage
Shining Bright
So walk into the
Light.
Near death experiences
Don't offer much more.
Prompt card and microphone
Sceptre and scales.
All heart and social
Conscience.
Seriously?

I read that three time, maybe because it's late I can't fully grasp it's meaning, it's sort of like a riddle, I shall return and think on it some more. Thanks for all the entertainment!

I like this, makes me think of many things; politicians, judges, GPs, Psychiatrists... I could go on.

Really resonant. Excellent.

Hi Kara,

Firstly, you are welcome!!

Secondly, it's quite a sarcastic poem..so unless you see the sarcasm you might not get it I suppose. It's hard to know whether someone will 'get' what you write...because you wrote it - so evidently know what you meant.

Thank you for that Nydas, I am glad you enjoyed it and you are right, it could apply to all of them!
