To Write a Poem

By Aliyah W., Mount Laurel, NJ   (More by this author »)

my mind is blank
like the paper in front of me
a pencil, waiting anxiously in the wings
the stage is set
to write a poem

words, the actors
pacing around backstage
waiting to make their debut in this poem
and the director, inspiration
giving the cues

the curtain rises
each word plays a lead role
the music picks up speed, faster and faster
just as suddenly, it’s all over
and i have a poem.
