"We're all mad here." -Alice in Wonderland


He stands in the spotlight
Every line on the script memorized exactly
He portrays the character perfectly
His talent is acting

She stands on the stage
Every word flowing from her lips
She fills the building with her song
Her talent is singing

He stands in the gallery hall
Every piece of art hanging straight on the white wall
He smiles at the thought of someone enjoying his work
His talent is drawing

She stands still until the music starts
Every note compelling her to move across the stage
She glides to the music
Her talent is dancing

He stands on the field
Every person in the crowd chanting his name
He scores and the stadium erupts in cheers
His talent is sports

She stands waiting for the next question
Every piece of knowledge racing in her mind
She answers the question correctly
Her talent is academics

He stands at the wooden podium
Every word enchanting the audience
He finishes his speech as the group before him claps
His talent is speaking

I stand waiting for my papers to print
Every letter staining the paper with ink
I am proud of my story
My talent is writing

This poem is great, and I love how it ended. The meaning behind it and the rhythm helped compose a great piece.
