Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is the performing arts.
Today’s poem is about how actors reveal themselves while
pretending to be someone else.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Actors wear a special mask:
One that's most revealing.
When they pretend they're someone else
They hang themselves to dry.
The tears and screams they've made their task
Leave nothing for concealing.
Each wound must bleed again, or else
The audience won't cry.
