Grandstanding

show off,
center stage,
hog the spotlight,
all the rage.

take a bow,
curtain call,
extend your roses
to passion’s thrall.

humility,
a useless trait
when bright accolades
exacerbate.

every ounce
of art demands
blood of heart and soul
grandstands.

      1. A cracker is the very best of things…probably a word not used too much these days thinking about it. My old Dad would say it a lot as in ‘That was a cracker of a game’ or ‘She’s a bit of a cracker’ etc.
