Mimicry of "This Moment"
Armory Park
At noon.
Things are getting ready
to happen
out of thin air.
Strings and woodwinds,
and a rolling xylophone.
But not yet.
First stubborn sticky pegs,
a shrill from the piccolo.
A baton slowly rises
and silence fills the room
this moment.
A downbeat,
and rosin flies from the twang of the string.
Rehearsal begins.

I really like the disjointed sentence structure. It gives the poem a unique rhythm.
So much tension is incorporated in this mimicry. Rehearsal must be a significant event, which causes you stress mixed with excitement. I enjoyed your usage of words such as xylophone. It shows how observant you are and also how such uncommon words can work well in the poem.
This is a great mimicry. I agree with chev on the sentence structure. This really shows your passion
