POEM STARTER

Write a poem with the title “Overheard in the Library”.

As well-renowned places of quiet, any conversations had in libraries tend to carry!

Overheard In The Library

Overheard in the library

A cacophony of clicks

Symphony of scratches

and shushes

Conductors leading the orchestra

with their white noise batons.

Take it apart.

Tear the notes from the pages

Hear the gasp of a weary reader

Too much vibrato for the waitlist

Clock their staccato intake

As they jump the line

As the shelf sings to her

An aria.
