MY LANGUAGE The words I write in poetry are fluent unlike my twitching face and halting tongue. With eyes closed I can see my beautiful little poems. They make me smile, my colorful smithereens. They save me from the harsh reality that is my body. My only oasis in barren land. *** 1st place in contest: What Does Poetry Mean To You Sponsored by Alexis Y.

This is a wonderful write Darren :) I love "my colorful smithereens", I refer to myself as a "babbling bouquet of awe fits and rage" I am enjoying your poetry with the blues on the radio and a mile wide smile on my face hugs Piroet mo!
