Acting

What is breath?
A sigh
A roar
Does it romance?
Does it enhance?

What is posture?
A stance
A dance
Does it lie?
Does it adore?

It is an act
A truth
A behavior
What is your circumstance?
Acting: Truthful behavior under an imaginary set of circumstances.

How does the rhyming with all line ends except act and truth in the last stanza emphasize those words, does this lead to the basic idea behind the poem?

I like the rhyming pattern. Doesn't have to be mathematically perfect, if you get my drift. I do think that some words could have been chosen better, such as circumstance and enchance. Not because of the way they rhyme, but because of their meaning. And the length is fine, although I wouldn't make it shorter.

Good poem.
