Audition at Stage Door

As an Artist of world acclaim... 

I spread my golden lined wings to 

welcome your embrace of charmed smiles...  

Dressed in finest fashion with Vogue design   

I turn a pretty leg long and seductive as 

I read the script to the Movie "Born of Desire".  

The Director is impressed as he keeps abreast 

of the latest profiles for coming attractions.  

A Shoe-in for the Lead, I grasp the intention of 

the narritive and give it my best Shot with ardor... 

"I beg your Pardon, I didn't promise to be as gifted as 

Katherine Hepburn... "  She was the greatest" !!

The best part of this poem is your playfulness & imagination. This might be the furthest ANYONE has taken personification of something from nature . . . you set the scene so strikingly, along with a mighty sassy feathery who really seems to think she CAN compete with ole Kate! *wink! wink!* This modesty is not to be believed, in my estimation. Ms. PEPburn (the bird) knows she can kick the pants off anything that comes out of Hollywood! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

dearest Margie... so much fun to share this poem with you. Love the way you view this as being playful. I really wish Katherine Hepburn could read my poem. You are the closest to having her attitude. I am looking forward to reading your book with all your expressions. Charmed and feathery, Pat

dear Zaynab... like the idea of my poem being sassy... as the Actress Katharine Hepburn was a bit sassy. Hope your Spring will be beautiful with blossoms and choruses of Bird songs. truly, Pat

A lovely poem dedicated to a great actress beautifully written Pat .
:)

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Katrina ... Katherine had a voice that was vulnerable and e felt her moments... she was one of a kind. She could play people like a hand of Poker. Now that's another poem. Glad you enjoyed the poem. As ever, Pat

[Katrina Mckeown]

My pleasure Pat :) 🌈

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I read Hepburn's autobiography entitled, "Me". She was an interesting and intelligent woman, outspoken and brave. Our fine feathered friend would likely be lauded by Katherine as she was a great lover of the outdoors as well. An interesting read, I enjoyed.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Fabian... I really miss Katherine.. she seemed like family... at least she stole our heart in many ways. Thank you for reading. As ever, Pat

[Rania M]

You re-created that era for me. Lovely and imaginative.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Rania... thank you for your charming review of Audition at Stage Door. Be blessed. truly, Pat

[Rania M]

Thank you!

Pat, as a fellow bird lover, I truly enjoyed this poem. Not only do I see the colors and imagine the sounds, I get the attitude you've expressed here. Katherine Hepburn's prime came before I my time, but I remember her well with John Wayne in Rooster Cogburn (U.S. Marshal). Even without looking at the scene, we know her voice, much like the birds in our garden. A fine, entertaining work, Pat.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear R.E. As a young actress Katherine was in a movie entitled Stage Door and then later she starred with Gary Grant and James Stuart in Philadelphia Story which is a must see movie Classic. Thanks for your wonderful review. As ever, Pat

[R.E. Ray]

You're welcome, Pat. I enjoy your work very much.

Oh the beauty of them all ...the colours the textures ...just the beauty of simplicity...🌹

Birds can sing and dance as well as Acting on Stage...
truly, Pat

Lynn Anderson would smile upon this poem...
and if the director were to not be impressed, then he could go sit in the garden and ponder the chance he lost to make a star shine in his movie...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Jacob... how charming... Lynn Anderson sang
"I Never Promised You A Rose Garden". You have brought a Smile to my 'Smitten Heart. truly, Pat
