Great Achievements: Unnoticed Noticed Prepared Poem by Terence George Craddock

there are exceptions
to the getting noticed rule
many students need quiet

to recharge flat batteries
time to study prepare for exams
to write essays complete

workload sometimes overdue assignments
student success time management skills
university determination endure run marathons

many musicians seek quiet time
to time practise practise practise
to attain perfect perfect performances

many musicians aspiring practise skills
to point piano fingers fly over keys
musicians instrument voice interactions

musicians professional instrument voice masters
spend years decades devoted to mistress music
concert hall or rock group fame time price paid

many artists seek solitude
to train focus create better art
art is born in artistic mind

many athletes train muscles
train past pain barrier resolute mind
in quiet places to competition

prepare for fame demanding events
events may be won in glorious
moments in years practise prepared

many famous people use disguises
to enhance quality private time to enjoy
need with close family friends lovers

a little free space time
gold dust so rare so precious
away from camera glare

to be still unnoticed in solitude
is a good place to think rest prepare
the soul for new challenges journeys
