Poem–“First Time Rock Star”

You’re almost done with terrible poetry for National Poetry Month. Feel the burn!

Last year’s Day 19 theme was a persona poem. My understanding was to write a poem from a particular person’s point of view.

I ended up doing a simple abab rhyming quatrain from the POV of a friend of mine playing his first show after joining a band. He said it helped his stage fright that the lights were bright enough he couldn’t see the audience.

First Time Rock Star

I can’t see the audience beyond the lights,
which I think works in my favor.
Can’t get dizzy if I don’t see the heights.
So, I’m left with the feeling to savor.
