Hoot by Raymond A. Foss
Charged electricity In the room Caffeine in the coffee and my pacing feet. My name first on the list Bold in uppercase print Ready to share my new poem Excited to grab the mike, the spotlight Proud to share my love For my grandmother.
Watching the reaction Adding reflection and inflection To paint the picture For each person listening So they could see her Or their own loved one Taking them back To memories That ground us all.
