On Urging One To Read Aloud

From lips of thine I would review
The poems you've written, oral true.
Each breath, each sound, that carries words,
When rhymed together betters birds.

The high perfect' of human speech
I will detect, my ears will reach,
And with the soul of thought for guide
I'll hear YOUR soul and vibe with pride.

Public speaking freaks a lot of people out... I got over my fear singing as a kid in front of a cast, (it seemed like). of thousands. Skillfully composed with fine language and rhyming. (I like '...betters birds.') Best wishes, Keith
