New Poetry Contest: How Unexpected!

Submitted by: Kira M., age 9, Princeton, NJ

An Unexpected Entry

The library waits,
While I wait, too.
We all wait
for our dreams to come true.
CREEAAAK!
The door creaks open.
Huh? Oh. Only the wind.
“I’m bored,” I say.
I wander around.
A minute later,
the audience gasps at a nearby
sound. I gasp, too! I’m not bored
anymore! The book signing has
begun. DRUMROLL, PLEASE!
It’s the world famous author . . .
My teacher?!
