Stage left
Enigmatically
Entranced; entranced her audience
“There she is!”
The crowd’s breath held; rapturously
Applauded and exited

Submitted to What’s Going On – A Cameo Appearance.
Cameo is a seven-line syllable count, unrhymed poem invented by English poet Alice Spokes. It has 2-5-8-3-8-7-2 syllables per line, for a total of 35 syllables.
Today I’m feeling:
Tired and sick again, though not too terrible, just lacking energy and motivation. My throat is getting more sore and I’m full of medicines.
Today I’m grateful for:
Not having to do anything today, and that is pretty much what I did.
The best thing about today was:
I watched another five episodes of The Boys to finish off the first season. It was good but the comics were more fun.
What was out of your control today and how did you handle it?
After coffee, I came home to watch the football and was hoping that the Swans could get their act together but they got trounced by Port and now look less likely to win anything else this year. Oh well.
Something I learned today?
I watched a video about dead hangs and how not to push them too much. I haven’t done it much recently and should get back to it.

Nicely done, Shaun!

Hello Shaun. Your link at Poets and Storytellers United isn’t working; I don’t know what poem it was meant to lead to. Anyway, I will remove it. Maybe try again this coming Friday?

Probably because I republished it on the correct date and it has changed the link. I’ll get the new link. Thanks for the heads up 🙏

Let’s not let the crowd exit before the job is done! I fear the applause is much too brief!

Ah, I hope her visit wasn’t that brief though. I hope during the time she was there said things that captured their attention!
