Haikus About Performers and Performing

By Hollis WheelerPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

"Unbelievable"

Is great praise for magicians

Actors, not so much.

Hard becomes habit

So habit becomes easy

And then beautiful

Some thoughts on talk-backs:

Yakety yak, don't talk back.

That should cover it.

I'm on stage tonight

Rare enough to feel special

Heightened but not scared.

If it was easy

Then they'd all be doing it

It's meant to be hard

I like seeing stuff

I also like doing stuff

I guess I like stuff.

Hollywood Fringe:

No, it isn't a hairstyle

It's a festival

Suddenly Seymour

From Little Shop of Horrors

Is a great duet

When You're Thirty-five

You should probably start to

Lie about your age.
