Poem Contest


Give me your 2-liner poem about stuttering. Surely, yours cannot be worse than mine:
 An eager thought left unspoken
Of a blank mind waiting for it to be spoken.

    How about a haiku

    Dreaded light vowels
    following the letter l
    straight into the wall.

    I stutter in my demands to be

    But it seems, oh woe, no one doth care.

    Here is our three lines in Hindi:
    Haklao magar pyaar se
    Ruko aaraam se
    Fir chal pado shaan se!

    Translation:
    Stutter with love!
    Pause comfortably!
    then Move on with elan!

    My unpredictable speech frustrates me,
    I remember it's ok it can't break me.

    Tut mir leid, Dein Gedicht verstehe ich gar nicht. Was meinst Du mit "of a blank mind"? "A thought...of a blank mind"? Ich verstehe gewiss, Du behauptest nicht es sei ein Meisterstueck. Doch den Satzbau kapiere ich bloss nicht. Sorry.

    Ora, how can you not possibly understand my poem. :-)

    An eager thought left unspoken.

    (Left unspoken) To a blank mind (when we are in a block) waiting for the thought to be spoken.

    My throat constricted, choking, tight
    Why is talking always a fight?
