Having Minds Of Their Own Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Hollywood not able to keep up with hometown America,
innate talent abounding in children, far more intelligent
and creative than many of Hollywood's stars.

Having minds of their own, wanting freedom to perform in
their own styles of dance and singing, flowing through
their bodies.

Measures of rhythm keeping their beings vibrant, always
curious as they listen to the coded rhythms of this mere
poet throughout the afternoon.

Soon to be evening, yet they will be filled with rhythms
into the night, letting them dream and be dazzled as they
watch themselves perform in them.
