Morgan cheated on your poetry contest. She copied her poem from the High School Musical Book Poetry in Motion. Here's a copy of the page:
Just pretend you're readin gthe poem to one person, she told herself. Just pretend you're readin gto Troy.
She cleared her throat adn began with the title.
"Honesty," she announced.
Her slightly sh aky voice echoed through teh dark auditorium. The single word adn the long silence after it made the students in teh audience sit up a little straighter in their seats. Then Gabriella began to recite:
"I see you tehre in front of me-
Your face, your hands, your eyes.
I hear you talk, I hear you tell
Your hopes, your dreams, your lies.
I walked with you, a sunlit trail,
Together hand in hand.
Then twilight came, and you were gone,
And now alone I stand.
THe woods are cold, the trees are black,
The dark is closing in.
And you have gone away from me,
Your faultless light has dimmed.
Betrayal is an empty space,
Raw night, cold room, alone.
And no one can redeem your face,
Sweet knight, safe light, you're gone."
As Gabriella finished the last line, she swallowed and tilted her head back. Tears had welled up in her eyes, and she didn't want any to spill over..
