Below is Charlie's sample poem.
Music Class Recital
Her 9-year-old tongue
slips between her lips.
Her eyes bore through
the music sheet as her
tiny hands try to find the notes
and keep the beat. We parents
on the edge of our seats
hold our breath
till we hear the last note fall
into place
and then applaud.--Charlie Rossiter
