Midnight Star


Happiness is a Christmas-present poem by my favorite film poet. Thanks so much, Richard!

Midnight Star
by Richard Jack Smith

A critic shouldn't merely reflect
What's easy for others to detect.
Betty Jo Tucker realigns
As the filmmaker captures and designs.

Her poetry expands and enlightens
Just as a scene brightens.
Her legacy dazzles as the midnight star
It reaches out to us from afar.

Studying the path least taken,
her words boldly awaken
concepts at the core
of human experience we cannot ignore.

A calm and welcoming neighbour
Taking stock of cinematic labour.
The film altered by such perception
A hero without the deception.
