Temporary Rock Star

With the shampoo as my microphone,
And the soap for my guitar,
I have a voice to rival millions.
Singing along with the musicians
Reverberating from my speakers
With as much power as I can muster.
I am where I feel I should be
In my mind, on a stage,
Voice rising through the steam
And suds making the bathtub
Dangerously slick.
I am a rock star,
Immortal in my talent. . .
Until I turn the water off, anyway.

  1. lol...very cool. Nice poem.

    I was talking with somebody a few days ago about inhibitions and how they change as we get older. We talked about how every little kid is a singer/actor/painter/etc but as we get older, we become so self-conscious that we stifle potential for talent development.

    I know my singing limitations and generally keep it to the shower or the car while commuting. I am willing to sing in groups when pressed, but won't torture folks with a solo.

  2. lol, I actually have plans to go to college for perfoming arts. I participate in musicals, solo competitions, and ensomble competitions in region.

    Not to brag, but I also tried out for Minnesota all-state choir and got chosen for an alto-alternate. which, roughly translated, means I didn't get outright chosen, but if another alto had become unavailable or got sick or mystiously disappeared. (jk)
