Here is my example layout:
I wrote the poem included on this layout after a piano performance I attended at the college where I work:
simply something like magic…
there was simply something like magic
about the sound that came
with the sway of his body
as he sat that brought a shiver to mine
there was simply something like magic
about the bounce of the light
off the backs of his hands
that brought tears to my eyes
there was simply something like magic
about the movement of his fingers
that made every hope and
dream I ever had well up inside my chest
there was simply something like magic
about the brush of every ivory key -
no matter gentle or full of force -
that had the power to move my heart
there is simply something like magic
about this man, his piano and passionate notes
