Literature Text

My family is a beautiful theater softly glowing crimson and gold.
Mom is the experienced director who has always overseen it
From whispering and nudging to shouting and shoving in the right directions,
And though it may not always show, she knows what is best for the crew.
Kayla is the excited young actor ready to become a star
Eager and enthusiastic but unsure and confused,
Pretending to know how the productions work while entertaining the audience.
Dad is the gleaming mahogany stage
Supporting and giving us a place to stand tall,
Ready to catch anyone that stumbles.
And I am the lights, highlighting our production with my changing colors
Showcasing the talent and directing the audience’s view of our show,
Unseen by the house but essential to the production.
We had to write poems comparing our family to something earlier this year and this is what I came up with. My teacher wanted me to submit it for a contest and it won second place, which was cool.
