Egotistical Acrobatics Poem by Michael Fischer
Egotistical Acrobatics
The acrobat walks the tightrope
above those stricken with awe.
So many fear his first attempt,
but he makes it look so simple.
But his act’s not without flaw;
It’s flawed with his flaring ego.
It’s flash without any substance;
It’s only about money and fame.
Sad but true. It makes no difference whether the 'tightrope' is literal or figurative, most everyone who aspires to perform publicly is driven by these very forces you end with. Good write, Michael. Brian
Very well written Michael. Can't agree with your judgement because of the particular qualities required to achieve what these guys do, but I have to agree that your poetic skills lack nothing. Fine composition and structure. jim
