Two minute poetry(?!)

This is an amalgamation of Maggi noodles inspired two minute formula to pen down crap + Billy Joel inspired not-as-arbitrary-as-(we didn't start the fire) list of words and the poetic license of the free verse. Hahaha. So the topic I decided on was a list of things that make a modern day run-o’-the mill movie.

What makes a movie?

The budding writer
Latent talent? Or the recycled cliché?
Scavenging production houses
Perspiration,
Slammed doors on the face;
Approving investors found,
Warner Bro’s? Miramax?
Taut Screenplay, Farce auditions
The Casting Couch
Of Beauty and the ephemeral lust;
Ravenous recruiting, Beverly Bills,
Art, Music, Lyrics and Crew,
A megaphone and steaming brew.
Hoarse voice and the trivial hirsute (!)
Swaying Camera –
In a mystic dance;
Emotions titillate, Love
And the Raging Sex.
All the action and stunts :
Scintillate!
Editing done and cans packed
The red carpet rolls –
Dazzling Décolleté
Critics take centre stage;
Caprice, Rave, Ratings, Contentions.
Multiplexes, Millions, Money$
Blustering outta the blocks.
