Visual Poet’s Thirty, 30 Days of National Poetry Month 2011; Hollywood A-Listers Poem

On this day of National Poetry Month 2011; I honor those who represent Hollywood with sophistication, versatility and grace with my poem, visual poetry Hooray for Hollywood, Unique A-Listers Outweigh

Believe it, there are those who won’t ever

Dare, tarnish Hollywood’s face

They clearly shine with versatility, sophistication and grace

They are actors with skills

Free of a need for connections or a special pedigree

They haven’t time for scandals or toying with the greedy paparazzi

They ooze with a whole lotta passion, talent and sensibility

Their only dramas are proudly played out on the big screen

With impressive, bold, thespian diplomacy 

And, if that Academy Award is presented

Then, that desirable fêted Oscar

Symbolizes excellent work and an endorsed reality 

Hooray for the real A-Listers, they are Hollywood’s mainstay

They set tone in the midst of Tinsel Town’s melee

They a group of classy celebrities from Hollywood to Broadway

They are restoring the mystique of the red carpet heyday

Hollywood, CA; it is now, most surely, a new day

All because of those unique A-listers who absolutely, outweigh
