Sestina




Standing in line, waiting to get my name called at Disneyworld.
Hoping to end up at the castle Magic Kingdom
Or even the hat at Hollywood Studio
Thinking about the globe at Epcot
But, dreading getting placed at Animal Kingdom
But, it doesnt really matter because you're finally Cast Member.


Not many people get chosen to be a Cast Member
Even though there are 66,000 spots at Disneyworld
The park most wide-eyed is Animal Kingdom
Most people KNOW about is Magic Kingdom
The best place to get a bite to eat is in Epcot
And, then my park, my home, Hollywood Studio


I spend most of my time at Hollywood Studio
Working at Pizza Planet being a Cast Member
Wishing to be able to go off and play at Epcot
Still So excited to be at Disneyworld
Missing my best friend who is at Magic Kingdom
Going and seeing the animals on our free time at Animal Kingdom


I feel like I'm on a real safari at Animal Kingdom
Feeling Walt's spirit within my blood at Hollywood Studio
Feel the magic at Magic Kingdom
It's still unreal that I'm a Cast Member
Not many people get this opportunity at Disneyworld
And, here I am with my backyard being Epcot


I'm at my last visit to Epcot
Taking my last ride in the dinosaur times at Animal Kingdom
Already missing my home away from home, Disneyworld
Taking my final walk backstage Hollywood Studio
It's my last few days as a Cast Member
It's almost time to say goodbye to Magic Kingdom


We had a good run, but I'll be back to the Magic Kingdom
I'll once again take a stroll around the world in Epcot
I'll forever be a Cast Member
I'll miss Animal Kingdom
My home park will always be Hollywood Studio
I'll have a love that no one else gets for Disneyworld

  1. I appreciate the turn the poem takes in the second to last stanza, where the speaker is saying goodbye to all that was introduced previously in prior stanzas.
