A Word MAG

By Anonymous

Each one a crystal jar
crouching on a dusty wooden shelf.
Waiting for the writer to pick it up,
contemplate it -
a glowing ball of fire,
warm in the palms of her hands.
Finally, the writer tips the jar,
pouring a drop of the syrupy liquid
on the blank page -
where its shimmering smudge
adds its fingerprints
to the kaleidoscope of poetry.

&quot;Have some fire. Be unstoppable. Be a force of nature. Be better than anyone here, and don&#039;t give a damn what anyone thinks. There are no teams here, no buddies. You&#039;re on your own. Be on your own.&quot; <br /> - Christina Yang (Sandra Oh)
