Very beautiful poem. The scene and the light, magical but with risk.
Way to make panic poetic. Great job!!!
Omggg, this was soooo relatable because I have severe stage fright. Loved your Acrostic!
We can get a little overdramatic in those moments!
Great poem! Best wishes on the challenge!
Okay, that's relatable. Great entry.
