Life of the Theatre

In one of my classes this year we had to write a free verse poem about something we love. I picked acting and this poem is one I wrote for the class. I know this is the first poem I have posted that doesn't rhyme, but, oh, well. :)

Life of the Theatre

The actors walk on stage

The audience stares

Quiet fills the room

Those acting inhale

The audience waits

The house is held in suspense

Actors bring the script to life

The audience laughs and cries

The room is filled with emotions

At the end, joy overcomes the actors

The audience walks forward to shake hands

And the theatre is quiet again
