I used Tara's spectacular poem in a workshop this weekend. In Toronto, she produced this poem with such clear eyes, and with such delight. She is a poet to watch. She is only 15 and has a rare talent.

Beautiful poem. Whatever you might write, or whatever films you end up making, your creations will come from a poet's heart.

Now that you have teased us about who you are, I hope you will frequently share some more of your poems in the Open Mic section. I'm curious to know what you see through the eyes of the ghost, how the irrational numbers add up, and where the missed bus is going.
