Maia P, resident of Richmond Beach, is one of three winners in the 2011 Teen Poetry Contest sponsored by the King County Library System in celebration of National Poetry Month. Maia's poem was chosen from almost 600 worthy entries, and she received a gift card for Barnes and Noble as a prize.
Here is Maia's winning poem:
Rain Dance
I dance in the rain
on the asphalt stage
of the street.
The spotlights are lightning
the confetti is raindrops
and the roaring crowd is thunder.
But my mother
calling me to come inside
is still the same.
--Aarene Storms, Librarian
