Motivation

An actor's lust
turned to dust.
Who to blame?
Whom to trust?

Cache of a name?
It's but in the game.
When what it takes to win
is not come up lame.

Give proper spin
to achieve proper grin.
Tho mum for the tough
cuz it's easy as sin.

No rest for the rough
tis penchant to slough.
Tsk, tsk errant cough
when is enough, enough?

I agree with Robyn. Your initial stanza hooked me, but I got the sense you were, um, maybe "holding back something" in the 2nd and 3rd. I felt that solidified in the last four lines. They are emotionally laden and TELLING, but what...are they telling? That is the question.

i dig the premise, but i feel like in an effort to say something very specific, you were initally inspired by several very solid lines, but forced others in as a way of finalizing the piece. some of the language seems antiquated while others seem very contemporary. I don't know how to offer any advice on adjustments though, so i apologize for the blunt observation. i do really like the opening stanza though!!

Thanks Jessica. This is more of a rant than most of my work. Just reflects a mood I guess. Cheers.
