THE WAITER
The clock is ticking,
the clock is tocking.
I am waiting for someone
like you.
You’re like a soft ocean
that wants me.
The breeze blows to an island
and that very island
sadly sails away.
—from 2018 Rattle Young Poets Anthology

Why do you like to write poetry?
Sophia Buss: “I really like to write. It’s fun to just let the words out of your mind and the feelings out of your hands.”
