Beowulf Boast

December 12, 2018

I, Des Flowers, / from the land of sailing wind

And of the Oranges of Orlando, / possessing a motormouth element

That will bring victory upon the singing blacktop, /

where the spotlight shine upon the

As Dionysus himself, influenced the art of entertainment, /

My performance was to his honor. / No one looked away, /

as for in only a blink, they’d miss the climax,

And when the air chambers echoed around the room, / the audience had began to cheer.

I had triumphed their thunderous applause, / as it is the treasure of theatre

I will continue to fulfil the expectations of my sage, / as a promise to the direction-giver,

The flame inside will cease to burn out as it kindles,

I will conquer “The Great White Way," / with my showcase,

engulfed in the feelings of rapture to blow everyone away, /

The critics will shout my name when I step on to the stage,

“All hail the wholly, exhilarating, and empowering entertainer, Des Flowers.”
