- An Ode To My Ears -

     My ears a complete pair,
     with gratitude for every tiny sound.
     They complemented each other
     in so many ways.
     As "hand in glove".
     Mickey Mouse ears,
     they're my royal crown.
     Exploration
     in empathetic listening.

But it is because of our ears that we can express emotion, communicate with people and voice your opinion when others shy away from what they should say. Incredible poem, congratulations on your win. hugs, hugs, hugs, Jennifer .

Sending you blessing of light and warmth from my country, with its legendary sun, ivory sand and turquoise shore.

Jay Narain November 10, 2025 at 10:32 AM Nice poem. With my age, I have almost lost hearing power.

Sotto Poet November 10, 2025 at 5:25 AM Wow, this is a profound and beautiful poem. You and your ears, working in perfect harmony. I thought this comparison was really interesting. Best of luck, dear Anne.

Joseph P. DiMino November 10, 2025 at 3:31 AM There is listening...and there is listening...yours apparently listen to the appreciative heart profoundly. Enjoyed very much, Anne.

Sara Kendrick November 10, 2025 at 3:07 AM Anne-Lise, you must be a good listener which is a great quality. Thanks for sharing this one with us. It seems like I have read another one similar so there must be a contest going, if so, this one reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K
