The Actor Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

Anger transference parallels strangulation
Confused, fearful hands grab throat—but wait
Don’t lay all blames on perceive hands
Count the invisible ones before, still
Artist supposes the adoption of emotions
to be acted upon like they're yours…do tell!
Can such a thing
Make it right without the wrong?
Subject is too complex to answer
so let blame have its way with
all sorts of comebacks:
Accusation’s menu not brief and
Decision look for comfort in itself
Good answer to the quiz!
Though, acting without love and gratitude
will never make you a star.
