“How to Deal with Stage Fright” by Lindsay Lin

Lindsay Lin (age 10)

HOW TO DEAL WITH STAGE FRIGHT

Imagine the judges
watching you
are donuts.
 
You can have a bite
after every word
of your poem
or every step
of your dance.
 

from 2023 Rattle Young Poets Anthology

Why do you like to write poetry?

Lindsay Lin: “I like to write poetry because I can explain my thinking in a different way than others. I want to be an author in the future.”
