Robert Redford fades from view
At 89 his
bolt shot through;
With Barbra
Streisand we concur
Sadness for
“The Way We Were” …
With blonde
good looks, this rising star
Imbued with
talent, soon went far!
Revenge for
death of friend: ‘The Sting’
Brought Box
Office punters in!
"The world’s
a stage" as Shakespeare said
And life’s
a play by actors led;
Their “fret
and strut” we so admire
But c’est
la vie; as they retire…
Erased are more
names from Life’s board
Yet, in our
memories, they’ve scored;
They still delight
on silver screen
As handsome
as they’ve ever been!
(c) Poet in the woods 2025
"The Way We Were" came out in October, 1973
