445 Quotes by Stewart Stafford

If anyone ever reported my death incorrectly, I'd confirm it was true on Twitter and that I was tweeting through a Ouija board.

No one remembers how you got a chance, they only remember what you did with it.

Love is a journey and a destination - long and excruciating on the way, unexpected and ecstatic if found.

The thespian is an impostor, but the paying crowd colludes fully in the fraud as they seek to leave real problems behind to indulge in the fictitious ones of another. Hence adulation towards a performer starts.

Stage fright occurs when a knowledge of the work being performed is replaced with a self-conscious awareness of the staring crowd and their expectations. Once it supersedes a performer’s confidence, it is difficult if not impossible for them to perform live again. Then the crippling flight response we’re all aware of comes into play.

They say the truth sets you free,But love liberated me,It hit reset,And said 'don't forget,Thy new version of thee.'© Stewart Stafford, 2020. All rights reserved.

For Your Consideration by Stewart StaffordStellar Scrutiny is required,Taffeta blindfolds though,Ordinarily obscure.Three and fifty miles hence,Wander those in denial,Of the untrustworthy father in the palace.Belated guests to the conflagration,Are served up as fodder,Consistently denied peerages and proper burial.Venerated with daggers,Erstwhile companions stoned,Ruled And Martyred.© Stewart Stafford, 2021.

The Lighthouse by Stewart StaffordApart and alone,From where the ships dock,Stands the white sentinel edifice on a promontory rock.Like the land's index finger,At the extent of the sea,Warning passing vessels where it's safe to be.It's one luminous eye,Swivels around its clear head,To keep lucky sailors off the seabed.It seeks no credit,And needs no thanks,Saluting proudly from above the fog banks.© Stewart Stafford, 2021.

A Contagion Abroad by Stewart StaffordOverblown epidemic,Inferno pandemic,Death takes a vacation.Bird flu, Bat stew,Churning, gagging virus brew,Man the panic stations.Contaminate, capitulate,Sickly state, funeral date,A lost generation.Depopulate, inoculate,Virologists thwart fate,The world's rehabilitation.© Stewart Stafford, 2021.
