A new blog to contain answers to prompts

Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas Open in new Window. became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one.


Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.

Prompt: Words
Have fun with these words- talented, adjust, public, nuisance, endorse, strength, strange. stumble and actor.


--------

On Stage

His heart in flames, chasing fame
the *actor stands, beneath the light, and
the crowd, his *public, their eyes aglow

they lean forward to feel the show
of this *talented one, while his words rule
but a *nuisance, a cough so loud and cruel,

still, he stands, but *stumbles over his words askew,
now the stage feels *strange...new, yet with *strength,
he shakes off pain, to begin all over again,

for if nerves rule one's own play, no script could *adjust
what his heart may say, while critics can choose what they
can *endorse, only the applause will chart the course.
