For weeks, I worked on my poem, _________ bettering the structure, sound, and voice. I reread my Emily Dickinson and William Wordsworth for _________. I practiced reciting it aloud. I revised, revised, revised. By December 30th, the day of the event, I was _________.

Well, I was ready until I looked around and realized how many people were there. And how big the hall was, and how _________ I felt. How could I _________ a piece of my poetry to 800 people? My heart was beating so hard I thought everyone around me could _________ it. I was nervous. I could feel a cool shiver run down my back. I couldn’t remember why I had said yes to the _________. Then the light dimmed, the crowd quieted. It was starting.

Suddenly, I was on stage with the bright white lights blinding my view of the audience and the feeling that my _________ was closing up. I leaned into the microphone and tried out my __________ as I read the title: “Let There Be Light.” My voice boomed from the speakers loudly and sounded much more confident than I felt.

The room was __________ as I began my piece, and I tried to focus on the words and __________ the people. The words somehow __________ in the right order, the lines flowed together appropriately, and I even remembered which words to __________. I finally came to the last line of the poem and breathed a deep sigh of relief. It was over.

The room was dead silent. Maybe no one liked it. I felt like I was going to faint. Then out of the silence there was __________, cheering, and smiling. I had done it. I had shared a piece of my poetry with the world.
