The Thrill Of Seeing A Theatre Show Poem by Ray Feasey

The thrill of seeing a theatre show
That silent wait for lights to dim and
Suddenly as music starts
Pulses race just for a while
And on one’s face a certain smile

The players on stage begin their trade
Story unfolding as night goes on
A spectacle of light and flair and despite
Not being on stage your there!

The half way break and drink at bar
A time to discuss the first half gone
As do the others at bar in throng
Humming show songs seems all are happy

Second half and joy again
You feel at one on this evening treat
With program held and hardly thumbed
It’s for later viewing back at home

The end arrives as standing applause
Is given out as all are enthralled
Then shuffle out along the isle to see
The folks with all their smiles

So nice to mange this escape
From troubled times and things so fake
The morning after still feel a glow
The thrill of seeing a theatre show
