Standing off stage
We wait and wait
Nerves are jumping
Hearts aflutter
~
Introductions made
It’s hard to breathe
Now’s the time
Clear your mind of clutter
~
The first step forward
Appearance on stage
The crowd applauds
Give your brightest smile
~
We take our places
Our minds are racing
We have to get it right
This is the final trial
~
The lights go down
Hearts are pounding in our throats
Spotlights illuminate the stage
Now’s the time to shine
~
The show’s begun
Our voices rise
Instinct takes over
We know we’ll be just fine
~
Energy is flowing
The harmony’s just right
Overtones are floating
Confidence seems to grow
~
Final notes ring out
We’re all breathing hard
The crowd goes wild
We line up in a row
~
We take a bow
Our hearts are soaring
Our faces glowing
Singers dreams come true
~
We meet in the wings
Unable to contain our joy
Who could ever forget
The night our voices flew

Hello, i saw your review request, i'm still new to this, but lets give it a shot!
As someone who does piano recitals, i do think that this is very accurate, it is a very positive look on the experience as well, and i can tell that it is written by someone who cares about preforming. It feels almost like a song, although there is no chorus, i think that the way that it doesn't feel like its focusing on a single character contributes to that, all and all, i love this.
Hello, TwilightMuse! VegasLights here to give you a review!
I really do like your poem, I think it has a nice flow and good choice of words! It shows us what it is like to really do a performance and accurately states the feelings. It gave me a nice feeling as I kept reading along, there was a couple of things that I would change. So, let's get started with the actual review.
There were a few awkward lines that I would reword. Line three in stanza five, I would leave out "pounding in our throats" because it makes the flow a little rocky. That is pretty much what I am talking about because some of your lines, well most are perfect and it is just a few that needs to be edited a bit.
Overall, I thought your poem was wonderful and the flow was great it was just those few things that threw me off. There was great feeling and emotions throughout the poem which I really loved. Your poem was really good and I hope you keep writing. Sadly, all reviews must come to an end and here is the end of this one! I thank you for your time and I hope you have a great day!

Hello there! Gonna leave you a review quickly.

Overall, your poem is quite nice. It easily reflects what it's like to do a performance in front of a crowd. Besides a few awkwardly worded lines, I felt like you wrote this with very nice flow. My only suggestion would be to try and add more sensory/descriptive details in such poetry. But other than that, you did a wonderful job! Keep writing, and I hope to read more of your work!
Hello TwilightMuse!
It's MergSword here with a review for you!
First I would like to begin with how I feel after I read this poem. I like the feeling the poem gives off. I think we've all had that feeling of fear and anxiety before. It could be the smallest things like answering a question, or as big as a Broadway performance.
I think you can add a few commas into the poem, I don't know why but when doesn't add commas I feel uncomfortable.
I'm a fan of the second to last stanza. It just captivated my interest, even if it was way at the end. Although when it came to captivating my interest, the first stanza didn't, which is th emits important part.
I do like however, as I mentioned before, the feeling. Keep on writing!
